First that is why we have a MODEM (modular/demodulator).
It converts digital signals from computer to analog (electrical signals) to digital and vice-versa...
Basically information travels as electrical signals on copper wire and as light pulses on fiber-optic cable...
The transmission is made out of variable and continuously changing voltages and if you let your imagination run wild you already have an answer... each voltage represents something..
I'm not a man of may words and there you are... I hope my short anwers earns me some points...
Off to the golden sands of AFRCA...
lekker bru!!

Think of it as a really complex morse code. Morse code can be used to send really complex messages if needed, and yet all it is is a series of dots and dashes. In the same way, electric wires carry these "dots and dashes" from computer to computer, and instead of having a person figure out that ... means S, for example, a computer figures it out. Then it assembles the signals into words, letters, images, etc. much like a morse code operator would translate the dots and dashes into a message. Hope this helps!

It's all ones and zeros, even inside your computer.
Kind of the same way a page travels through the telephone lines to another fax machine, or how your tv programs travel across the cable or airwaves to your tv.

Information that is on your computer is transferred into code and travels along the cable. When it reaches the other end it is then decoded and you are able to read it.
Does that help you?

You and Senator Ted Stephens have something in common: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f99PcP0aFNE
There are plenty of sites out there that will tell you how it works. Just google something like "digital transmission basics"

It works like a telephone you send sound it sends sound to you. Or it might a send a code to you computer that translates it into words.
