Bits and Bytes

Today someone asked me the diffference between bit and byte. I don't know much about it but i know few things and that are very important and might be useful for my information. These are;
one byte = 8 bits.
Similarly, One Megabyte= 8 Megabits
For example if i wanna download a file of one MB i.e One Megabyte), it will take eight seconds if my internet connection is 1Mbps (1 Megabit per second). 

For two MB, it will take 16 seconds and so on.
Similarly One Gigabyte =8 Gigabits.

In order to be a part of the digital world, you need to be able to understand the difference between bits and bytes. This difference is important because it affects how you work with digital files.   

Bits are the smallest unit of information that a computer can store, and bytes are the number of bits that make up a particular type of data. When you save a file as a PDF, for example, you are saving a file as a series of bits.

There are many different types of bytes, each with its own specific purpose.     

For example, a byte that represents the letter “a” in binary code would have the value of 10.     

On the other hand, a byte that represents the number 9 in binary code would have the value of 11.

Bits and bytes are two different things. Bits are the smallest unit of data that can be stored, while bytes are the largest. Bits can be either a 0 or a 1, while bytes can only be 0, 1, or 2.    

This is why bits and bytes are different: bits can store a lot of information, but bytes can only store two values.

Networking

Back up of my mind's knowledge about networking lol

Hi guest.

Just wanted to write a bit  about networking of two computers, though i ain't a engineer, but still,

anyways......

let's read

Networking made simple

My Computer-> Properties-> Computer Name-> drharkawal1 for first computer

and drharkawal2 for second computer

In Windows 7-> Computer name, domain and workgroup settings-> change settings->system properties-> change-> computer name and workgroup

Get one thing very clear->

the name of computers should be different e.g harkawal1 for first computer and drharkawal2 for second computer,

and the workgroup should be same for both computers. this is very important.

Now we need crossover cable (ethernet)

we can get it very easily from computer shop.

Now connect the crossover cable in both computers.

Now go to network connections-> LAN(local area network)-> properties-> tcp/ip->

{{{{ although it is automated process, but still if things are not perfect-> go to tcp/ip-> use the following ip address->}}}}

fill ip address 

***.***.1.1

for second computer

***.***.1.2

(***.*** means 3 digits of your choice)

subnet mask 255.255.255.0 or default should be okay

the subnet mask should be the same in both computers. 

this is very important.

now restart both the computers and things should be good enough for networking of two computers.

This was for networking of two computer.

when i will buy third computer then probably i would be able to write about networking of more than two computers. lol

Thanks and regards
