ASCII = American Standard Code for Information
Interchange
Pronounciation: as'-key
ASCII is a
standard way of representing characters and symbols in electronic
form. Using standards increases efficiency and eliminates errors.
Using standards requires discipline and sometimes restricts
creativity. However, it is very useful for communication in large
groups of users. The internet requires even more focus on standards,
as it integrates users with different languages. The people who
envisioned the internet, tried to set up a global communication
platform. Using standards is a way to accomplish this
objective.
