Cycle and Data Representation

In this post, I will share to you two of the lessons that Sir Tom taught us.

They say, "Life is a cycle". Well, in the world of computers, they also have a cycle. 

It all starts with the INPUT DEVICE. This gives instructions and data to the MEMORY(RAM). The CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT gives data to the memory while in return, the memory gives instructions and data for the Central Processing Unit to analyze. Going back to memory, it gives out the results to the OUTPUT DEVICE.

I think you get this already xD

The second topic is about data representation which is about bits and bytes. Digitizating is the process of taking photos, videos and other visual materials to smaller pieces called binary so that the data can be easily processed by the computer. There are three common basic technologies for storing binary information.  They are EMO. Electronic, Magnetic and Optical 

Also, 1 byte = 8 bits 1 kilobyte (K / KB)= 1,024 bytes 1 megabyte (M / MB)=1,048,576 bytes 1 gigabyte (G / GB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes 1 terabyte (T / TB)= 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
