WHAT IS IT

What are bits, bytes, and other units of measure for digital information?

According to Knowledge Base, modified last 2018-01-18 10:52:24. A bit is a binary digit, the
smallest increment of data on a computer. A bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1,
corresponding to the electrical values of off or on, respectively.

Because bits are so small, you rarely work with information one bit at a time. Bits are
usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. A byte contains enough information to
store a single ASCII character, like "h".

A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes, not one thousand bytes as might be expected, because
computers use binary (base two) math, instead of a decimal (base ten) system.

Computer storage and memory is often measured in megabytes (MB) and gigabytes
(GB). A medium-sized novel contains about 1 MB of information. 1 MB is 1,024 kilobytes, or
1,048,576 (1024x1024) bytes, not one million bytes.

Similarly, one 1 GB is 1,024 MB, or 1,073,741,824 (1024x1024x1024) bytes. A terabyte (TB) is

1,024 GB; 1 TB is about the same amount of information as all of the books in a large library, or
roughly 1,610 CDs worth of data. A petabyte (PB) is 1,024 TB. 1 PB of data, if written on DVDs,
would create roughly 223,100 DVDs, i.e., a stack about 878 feet tall, or a stack of CDs a mile high.
Indiana University is now building storage systems capable of holding petabytes of data. An
exabyte (EB) is 1,024 PB. A zettabyte (ZB) is 1,024 EB. Finally, a yottabyte (YB) is 1,024 ZB.

Many hard drive manufacturers use a decimal number system to define amounts of
storage space. As a result, 1 MB is defined as one million bytes, 1 GB is defined as one billion
bytes, and so on. Since your computer uses a binary system as mentioned above, you may notice
a discrepancy between your hard drive's published capacity and the capacity acknowledged by
your computer. For example, a hard drive that is said to contain 10 GB of storage space using
a decimal system is actually capable of storing 10,000,000,000 bytes. However, in a binary
system, 10 GB is 10,737,418,240 bytes. As a result, instead of acknowledging 10 GB, your
computer will acknowledge 9.31 GB. This is not a malfunction but a matter of different
definitions.

We count in base 10 by powers of 10:

 101 = 10
102 = 10*10 = 100
103 = 10*10*10 = 1,000
106 = 1,000,000
Computers count by base 2:

21 = 2
22 = 2*2 = 4
23 = 2*2*2 = 8
210 = 1,024
220 = 1,048,576

So, in computer jargon, the following units are used:

Unit Equivalent
1 kilobyte (KB) 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte (MB) 1,048,576 bytes
1 gigabyte (GB) 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 terabyte (TB) 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
1 petabyte (PB) 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes

Within a computer, information is represented and stored in a digital binary format. The
term bit is an abbreviation of binary digit and represents the smallest piece of data. Humans
interpret words and pictures; computers interpret only patterns of bits. A bit can have only two
possible values, a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0). A

bit can be used to represent the state of something that has two states. For example, a light
switch can be either On or Off; in binary representation, these states would correspond to 1
and 0, respectively. Computers use binary codes to represent and interpret letters, numbers
and special characters with bits. A commonly used code is the American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII). With ASCII, each character is represented by a string of bits.
For example: Capital letter: A = 01000001 Number: 9 = 00001001 Special character: # = 00100011
each group of eight bits, such as the representations of letters and numbers, is known as a byte.
Codes can be used to represent almost any type of information digitally: computer data, graphics,
photos, voice, video, and music.

TYPES OF COMPONENTS AND OBJECTS TO BE MEASURED:

1. Memory
 Adapted from the website, webopedia Memory is internal storage areas in the
computer system. The term memory identifies data storage that comes in the form of
chips, and the word storage is used for memory that exists on tapes or disks. For
more information

2. Data storage capacity

Adapted from the website, techterm, Storage capacity refers to how much disk
space one or more storage devices provides. It measures how much data a computer
system may contain. For an example, a computer with a 500GB hard drive has a
storage capacity of 500 gigabytes. A network server with four 1TB drives, has a
storage capacity of 4 terabytes.

3. Processor

Adapted from the website, technopedia, a processor is an integrated electronic

circuit that performs the calculations that run a computer. A processor performs
arithmetical, logical, input/output (I/O) and other basic instructions that are passed
from an operating system (OS). Most other processes are dependent on the
operations of a processor.

4. Video card

Adapted from the website, study.com, a video card is used to process images
so they can be displayed on your monitor. A good video card can make a big
difference in the quality of your graphics, so this is particularly important if you play
games or work with photography and video. for more information (taken from
study.com)

5. Hard disk

According to the Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia, https://en.

wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive, a hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or

fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that uses magnetic storage to
store and retrieve digital data using one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with
magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a
moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces.

Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data

can be stored and retrieved in any order. HDDs are a type of non-volatile storage,
retaining stored data even when powered off.

6. Random-access memory (RAM)

According to The Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory, random-access memory
(RAM) is a form of computer memory that can be read and changed in any order,
typically used to store working data and machine code. A random-access memory
device allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time
irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory. In contrast, with other
direct-access data storage media such as hard disks, CD-RWs, DVD-RWs and the
older magnetic tapes and drum memory, the time required to read and write data
items varies significantly depending on their physical locations on the recording
medium, due to mechanical limitations such as media rotation speeds and arm
movement.

WHAT’S MORE

Directions: Read and understand the paragraph clearly. Answer the given questions
that follow by writing YES if the systems can run the Adobe Animate CC
and write NO if it cannot. Write your answers on a separate sheet of
paper.

Before deciding to buy a computer for work or for personal use, you need to
check the system requirements of the application that you will run on your computer
first. You will find this requirement on the package of the installer of the specific
program or search it on the web. It is important that at the least your system
specifications are the same or above the minimum system requirements of the
application that you want to open. It also a good thing to make your system future
proof, it means you must choose parts that are upgradable, since newer versions of
some applications require higher system requirements.
 Here is an example of the system requirements of an animation app called
Adobe Animate CC.
