00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,040
bits and bites absolutely delici oh my God this is cat

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:12,320
food no but seriously bits and bites are

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,400
the units to measure computer data bit

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,840
is the smallest form of data and it's basically like an onoff switch it can be

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,359
either a zero or a one but that's it

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:28,080
even basic information like a letter of the alphabet cannot be expressed as a

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,200
bit in spite of the name alphabet you'll need a bite which is a series of eight

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,840
bits in order to express even something as simple as a character of text you can

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,480
think of it as eight on orof switches which can be configured in any number of

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,920
different combinations to represent different values often a letter of the

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:51,120
alphabet or another character for example this is TQ for Techquickie

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,039
represented in 16 bits or two bytes and

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,680
this is a smiley face represented in 16 bits or two bytes but you're a

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,440
sophisticated guy you might need to store data that's more complicated than

15
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:04,760
a single letter of the alphabet and the simple answer is you're going to need

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:09,000
more bites by the way these taste awful for example even a text document that

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,119
contains only three characters would need more than one bite of data to

18
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,799
represent it that is why we have prefixes like kilo Mega and Giga to

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:23,560
refer to much larger file sizes I mean otherwise in casual conversation we'd

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,400
have to say things like oh hey man how big is that song Oh around uh

21
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:35,799
3,521 36 62 bytes or you could just say

22
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:37,960
3 and 1/2 Megs so when do you use bits

23
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:43,000
and when do you use bytes the general rule that I use is bits for interface

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,640
speed bytes for data storage so here's an example your internet service

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:52,240
provider has a plan for you that's 100 megabit per second and you have a file

26
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:53,520
that's 100 megabytes don't get confused

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:59,039
you're not going to be able to download a 100 megabyte file size in 1 second

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:06,240
with that plan it'll actually take more like about a seconds because 100 megabit

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,680
is around 12.5 megabytes where it gets

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,520
really confusing sometimes they represent

31
00:02:11,239 --> 00:02:17,319
speeds in bytes too like when you transfer files on your computer from one

32
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,760
folder to another one so the best way to keep from getting confused is to follow

33
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:28,480
a couple of simple rules number one rule is the Big B anytime it's denoted is for

34
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:31,000
btes the bigger unit and a small B is

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,599
for bits which is the smaller unit big letter Big Unit small letter small unit

36
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:41,920
and rule number two is you can use this simple and approximate very approximate

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:47,640
not correct conversion where you take a number that you read in bits and you

38
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,519
divide it by 10 to get bytes for example that internet service provider that

39
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:55,480
advertises 100 megabit per second in theory 12.5 megabytes not going to

40
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,319
happen in the real world due to network protocol inefficiencies or any other

41
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,159
snafus that might occur in the ad IED speed so it'll probably be more like 10

42
00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:07,560
megabytes per second even if your service provider is being honest about

43
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,560
their speeds speaking of reading this video is brought to you by audible.com

44
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:16,560
I've heard well and experienc that you can download eBooks from the megabits

45
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,959
actually no I'm just kidding you can actually download books from the internet you can listen to them whether

46
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,799
it's on your smartphone on your couch in your car while you're commuting or whatever else the case may be you can

47
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,560
even get a free ebook by visiting audible.com tequ where you can download

48
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:35,560
pretty much anything you want I meant to read this book and instead what I ended

49
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,640
up doing is picking up the ebook because even though it'll take about twice as

50
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:42,680
long to listen to this book as it will to read it I don't have the time to sit

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,760
down and dedicate to reading it whereas I can listen to it while I'm doing other

52
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,480
things the other cool thing about this one is the fact that the audible ebook

53
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:54,280
is read by Jim Collins himself which means he added a little bit of insight

54
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:58,840
and tailored the experience to the listening version as opposed to the

55
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,840
reading version which was very very cool now I'd like to change things up a

56
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,840
little bit for my next ebook and I'd love for you guys to check out the audible bestsellers list and leave your

57
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,959
suggestions in the comments in this video I would like to try something that

58
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,480
is entertaining as opposed to business oriented and I'd like to try something

59
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:18,959
that was read by someone other than the author so that I can have that

60
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,040
experience as well and as always guys
