An object attached to a coil spring can exhibit oscillatory motion. Many kinds of oscillatory motion are sinusoidal in time, or nearly so, and are referred to as simple harmonic motion. Real systems generally have at least some friction, causing the motion to be damped. The automobile spring shown here has a shock absorber (yellow) that purposefully dampens the oscillation to make for a smooth ride. When an external sinusoidal force is exerted on a system able to oscillate, resonance occurs if the driving force is at or near the natural frequency of oscillation.

Information is derived from processing the data i.e. its first meaningful resources and therefore when processed manually, mechanically or electronically, information is obtained. Such form of processing task takes the form of classification, sorting, calculating, summarizing etc.

This is the smallest element in computer file. The bit notation forms the basis of the computer working and as such it is impossible for the human beings to appreciate its use and that is why for the logical files, which are the view of the file user, the bits are not significant.

The Internet is a public network that allows access to a number of users globally with no time and location limitations. It’s commonly referred to as information superhighway because it is assumed that any information can be acquired from the Internet and can be added to the internet websites. It can also be defined as a wide area network (WAN) that enables organizations and individuals to communicate globally. Certain protocols like SMTP for e-mail, FTP for a file transfer and HTTP for accessing/transferring web pages are important when describing the internet.

Ethics refer to the principles of right and wrong that individuals who act as free moral agents use to make choices that will guide their behavior. Although protecting personal privacy and intellectual property are on the spotlight, there are other pressing ethical issues brought about by the widespread use of information systems. This is because ICT can be used to commit crime or to threaten social values.
