Consider the following statements: 1. Smart Card is a plastic card with an embedded microchip. 2. Digital technology is primarily used with new physical communication medium such as satellite and fibre optics transmission. 3. A digital library is a collection of documents in an organised electronic form available on the Internet only. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Evaluating statements about technology: 1. Statement 1 is correct. A Smart Card is typically a plastic card (often credit-card sized) that has an embedded microchip capable of storing and processing data. 2. Statement 2 is correct. Digital technology, involving the representation of information as discrete digits (usually binary), is indeed the foundation for modern communication over physical communication media like satellite links and fibre optics transmission, enabling high-speed and reliable data transfer. 3. Statement 3 is incorrect. A digital library is a collection of documents in an organised electronic form. While often accessible via the Internet, it is not *only* available on the Internet. Digital libraries can exist on local networks (intranets), CDs/DVDs, or personal computers without requiring internet connectivity. Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
