In binary data, each unit of data is a bit. Each bit is represented by either 0 or 1, and is stored in memory as ON or OFF state.
Binary Digit. One digit of a binary number, either zero or one. Bits are the smallest components of bytes.
per second, as oposed to Bps (Bytes per seccond). broadband
denote units of data. One byte consists of eight bits ( each either a 1 or a 0 ). Bits are the measurement used for data transmission speeds, as in a 56 kilobit modem. Bytes are used when talking about memory and disk space as in megabytes and gigabytes
Binary digits, "ones and zeros"; the fundamental units of information in a digital communications channel.
Binary digits ( '0' or '1' )
Bit is an abbreviation for Binary digIT. Computer words and data are made- up of bits, the smallest unit of information. A bit can be either zero or one, represented in a circuit by an off or on state, respectively. The bits are set on or off to store data, or to form a code that in turn sends instructions to the computer's central processing unit.
If a byte is like an atom in computer language, a bit is like an electron. A bit is either on or off. It is either a 1 or a zero. Eight bits make up one byte.
A contraction of "binary digits" and refers to information stored as a series of zeros and ones.
'binary digits': the ones and zeroes computers use to store numbers.
Ones and Zeros. When information is digitized, it is turned into ones and zeros. So all digital information is made up of bits.
The smallest unit of data used for the handling, storage and transmission of information.
Although bits of data are often very small, this term actually is an abbreviation for binary digit. Almost every piece of information in your computer is translated into a 0 or a 1 for quick processing. Even words, colors and images are "seen" by the computer in bit or binary form. 1110111-1101111-1110111! (ummm...that means WOW!)
The 1s and 0s of computing. The word comes from binary digits.
Short for binary digit, the smallest unit of information on a machine.
a binary digit. Mode of information used by a computer to store numbers. One bit equals a \Qone' or a \Qzero'. Usually 8 bits equals one byte, however, MIDI uses a 10 bit-byte that includes a start bit, the 8 - bit data message, and a stop bit.
The smallest unit of information used on a computer. Bits have a single binary value either 0 or 1.
Binary digit Computers can only process information that is formatted as a series of zeroes and ones - binary digits or bits - so all letters, documents, sounds and visuals are held as bits. Bandwidth and broadband speed are measured by how many thousands or millions of bits per second can be delivered or received. Biometrics The use of measurable biological characteristics to provide authentication to computer systems. These characteristics currently include techniques such as fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, retina scans and iris scans. Bluetooth Bluetooth technology lets you connect devices such as mobile phones, handheld PCs and personal digital assistants (PDAs) wirelessly over short distances.
