bits and bites absolutely delici oh my God this is cat

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.320
food no but seriously bits and bites are

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.400
the units to measure computer data bit

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

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.359
either a zero or a one but that's it

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:28.080
even basic information like a letter of the alphabet cannot be expressed as a

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

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.840
bits in order to express even something as simple as a character of text you can

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.480
think of it as eight on orof switches which can be configured in any number of

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.920
different combinations to represent different values often a letter of the

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:51.120
alphabet or another character for example this is TQ for Techquickie

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.039
represented in 16 bits or two bytes and

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:57.680
this is a smiley face represented in 16 bits or two bytes but you're a

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:01.440
sophisticated guy you might need to store data that's more complicated than

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:04.760
a single letter of the alphabet and the simple answer is you're going to need

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:09.000
more bites by the way these taste awful for example even a text document that

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:13.119
contains only three characters would need more than one bite of data to

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.799
represent it that is why we have prefixes like kilo Mega and Giga to

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:23.560
refer to much larger file sizes I mean otherwise in casual conversation we'd

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:27.400
have to say things like oh hey man how big is that song Oh around uh

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:35.799
3,521 36 62 bytes or you could just say

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.960
3 and 1/2 Megs so when do you use bits

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:43.000
and when do you use bytes the general rule that I use is bits for interface

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:46.640
speed bytes for data storage so here's an example your internet service

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

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.520
that's 100 megabytes don't get confused

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

00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:06.240
with that plan it'll actually take more like about a seconds because 100 megabit

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.680
is around 12.5 megabytes where it gets

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:13.520
really confusing sometimes they represent

00:02:11.239 --> 00:02:17.319
speeds in bytes too like when you transfer files on your computer from one

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.760
folder to another one so the best way to keep from getting confused is to follow

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

00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:31.000
btes the bigger unit and a small B is

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:35.599
for bits which is the smaller unit big letter Big Unit small letter small unit

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:41.920
and rule number two is you can use this simple and approximate very approximate

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:47.640
not correct conversion where you take a number that you read in bits and you

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:51.519
divide it by 10 to get bytes for example that internet service provider that

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.480
advertises 100 megabit per second in theory 12.5 megabytes not going to

00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.319
happen in the real world due to network protocol inefficiencies or any other

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

00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:07.560
megabytes per second even if your service provider is being honest about

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.560
their speeds speaking of reading this video is brought to you by audible.com

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.560
I've heard well and experienc that you can download eBooks from the megabits

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

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

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:31.560
even get a free ebook by visiting audible.com tequ where you can download

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:35.560
pretty much anything you want I meant to read this book and instead what I ended

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:38.640
up doing is picking up the ebook because even though it'll take about twice as

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

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

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.480
things the other cool thing about this one is the fact that the audible ebook

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:54.280
is read by Jim Collins himself which means he added a little bit of insight

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.840
and tailored the experience to the listening version as opposed to the

00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:01.840
reading version which was very very cool now I'd like to change things up a

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

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.959
suggestions in the comments in this video I would like to try something that

00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:14.480
is entertaining as opposed to business oriented and I'd like to try something

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:18.959
that was read by someone other than the author so that I can have that

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:21.040
experience as well and as always guys
