If a 🦟 (mosquito) bit you 8 times, do you get a byte? 🤭
Here's the definition for bits and bytes in the tech world: A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data that a computer can process and store. A bit is always in one of the two physical states represented by a single binary value, usually a 0 or a 1; 8 bits form a byte.
Bits are usually used to represent data use, or transmission speeds of internet, telephone, and streaming services. While Bytes are typically used to express storage sizes.
What other tech terms would you like to learn about this year? Let us know!

👉 Old caches can contain outdated information and files, causing webpages to not load or load incorrectly
👉 Browser caches can also contain personal information, such as passwords. Clearing them can help to protect your sensitive data
