Explain the binary representation of data.

Digital (binary) representation of various common forms of data

Using the proper units for measuring information

Convert approximately between bits, bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, and Gigabytes

Measuring speed, resolution and frequency

Data is represented by binary digits (bits) organized into bytes (B), kilobytes (kB ), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB). Data transfer rates are measured by bits per second. Computer screen resolution is measured in pixels. Analog frequencies, wireless transmissions and radio frequencies are measured in Hertz.
