1. Data Representation and Number Systems 1.0 Introduction. All data in a digital computer is stored as electronic signals, either voltages or currents. These electronic signals are used to represent other data types such as numbers or letters or other items. In most digital computers systems the electronic signals can only handle two signal levels represented by a digit 0 and a digit 1, namely high or low.

But many elderly people shy away from computers out of fear, wondering "What if
