Definition of Computer Data Conversion - SS2 ICT Lesson Note

Computer data conversion refers to the process of transforming data from one format or representation to another within a computer system.

This conversion is crucial because computers use binary code (0s and 1s) to process and store information, while humans typically interact with data in various formats such as text, numbers, images, audio, and video. Data conversion ensures compatibility and seamless communication between different devices, software, and users.
