Bit and bytes Bit (Binary Digit) is the basic unit of information in

computers 1 bit = 0 or 1 Computer binary system Refers to transfer rate per second

8 bits = 1 Byte

1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)

1,048,576 Bytes = 1 Megabyte (MB)

1,043,741,824 Bytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)

1,099,511,627,776 Bytes = 1 Terabyte (TB)

- Kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, and terabyte are terms that describe large units of data used in measuring data storage

Example: 100 GB hard drive

How does a flatbed scanner work?

Step 1:Place the document to be scanned face down on the glass window. Using buttons on the scanner or the scanner program, start the scanning process.

Step 2:The scanner converts the document content to digital information, which is transmitted through the cable to thememory of the computer.

Step 3: Once in the memory of the computer, users can display the image, print it, e-mail it, include it in a document, or place it on a Web page.

How does LCD work?

Step 1. Panel of fluorescent tubes emits light waves through polarizing glass filter, which guides light toward layer of liquid crystal cells.

Step 2. As light passes through liquid crystal, electrical charge causes some of the cells to twist, making light waves bend as they pass through color filter.

Step 3. When light reaches second polarizing glass filter, light is allowed to pass through any cells that line up at the first polarizing glass filter. Absence and presence of colored light cause image to display on the screen.
