First sight of communication The human need to communicate has motivated mankinds creativit Cave dwellers drew pictures on walls Smoke signals, drum rhythms passed messages Postal service: a system for physically transporting documents and other small packages Alexander Graham Bell: invented the telephone Data communication Data communications are the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium
• The human need to communicate has motivated mankind’s creativity: – Cave dwellers drew pictures on walls. – Smoke signals, drum rhythms passed messages. – Postal service: a system for physically transporting documents and other small packages – Alexander Graham Bell: invented the telephone. Data Communication: Data communications are the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium
What is needed for successful communications? ending Communications Communications device - initiates device-connects channel- media instruction to the sending device to on which data transmit data the communications instructions, or instructions, or channel information travel information Communications Receiving device -connects device -accepts the communications transmission of data channel to the instructions or receiving device information
7 Sending device — initiates instruction to transmit data, instructions, or information What is needed for successful communications? Communications device — connects the communications channel to the receiving device Receiving device — accepts transmission of data, instructions, or information Communications device — connects the sending device to the communications channel Communications channel — media on which data, instructions, or information travel
Everything is Connected to Everything Computer Network: A collection of computers, display terminals, printers, and other devices linked either by physical or wireless means Seeds of Networking 1966: ARPA(Advanced research Projects Agency) State Defense Departments research organization Focused major development effort on computer networking ARPAS Goal: To promote research in advanced future technologies by funding university and industry research proposals Result: Thousands of databases became available to the public
