Summary
Standards are crucial in computer science as they ensure compatibility and seamless communication between software and hardware. Character sets like ASCII, extended ASCII, and UNICODE standardise how characters are represented digitally.
HTML is a standard for creating webpages.
Protocols (sets of standards) enable devices to communicate effectively.
Manufacturers and producers follow these standards to create compatible products. Formats like PNG, MP3, and PDF are standardised for specific data types. By adhering to these standards, devices and software can work together, allowing users to interact with technology efficiently and effectively.
