Big Idea:

Information and communication systems greatly impact our quality of life and are an essential component of business and industry that is rapidly expanding.


The Systems Model and The Systems Model and CommunicationCommunication

Information and Communication systems follow the systems model and require inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback.

Inputs – determine the objective of the project or the action

Process – how the objective is achieved or the procedure used (includes materials, tools, supplies, etc.)



Information and Communication systems follow the systems model and require inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback.

Output – the results of the objective

Information and Information and CommunicationCommunication

Information and communication systems can be further broken down into the:

Source – the person or machine originating the communication

Encoder – the device that translates the communication into a format for transmission

Transmitter – the device that sends the message

Receiver – the device that collectsthe message



Information and communication systems can be further broken down into the:

Decoder – the device that translates the communication into an acceptable format

Storage – the device that stores the communication

Retrieval – the device that retrieves the communication on command

Destination – the person or machine who is the audience



Example: Sending an email
