Communication inside a computer is in the form of sequences of on and off electrical pulses to represent everything from numbers and letters to images and sounds. Digital logic is used to interpret these sequences of binary data processed by microchip gates. For example, the NOT gate can be represented as:

It will take an input of 1 and output a 0. Or it can take an input of a binary byte (eight-digit binary number). For example, an input of 11111111 would output 00000000.

You can further build on this simple gate by combining gates. For example, a sequence of two NOT gates would look like:

Initial Post: Research how computers process information using logic, truth tables, and electronic gate structure in Information Technology. Describe the relationship you found by responding to the following:

1) Cite two sources in APA format that would further the class understanding of electronic gates in IT.

2) For each source, summarize the information shared in at least one paragraph.

3) Give an example of an electronic gate. You may use the software of your choice for the gate drawing. A few online options are creatly.com or cosketch.com. Also, Microsoft Paint, Word, or Microsoft PowerPoint also work and can be saved as an image or file. Share the image as an attachment or as a link.

4) Share the possible single digit binary inputs (0, 1) and outputs via a truth table
