A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information storage capacity that represents one million bytes. It is commonly used to measure the size of digital files, data storage devices, and computer memory.

A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information storage capacity that represents one billion bytes. It is commonly used to measure the size of digital files, data storage devices, and computer memory.

Complimentary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) is a technology for constructing integrated circuits. CMOS technology is used in microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits. 

Computer ethics refers to the moral principles and guidelines that govern the behavior of individuals and organizations in the use of computers, technology, and digital information. It encompasses ethical considerations related to the creation, access, use, and dissemination of technology and information in the digital age.

An exabyte is 2 to the 60th power, or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes.

Firmware is a software program or set of instructions programmed on a hardware device. It provides the necessary instructions for how the device communicates with the other computer hardware. But how can software be programmed onto hardware? Good question. Firmware is typically stored in the flash ROM of a hardware device. While ROM is “read-only memory,” flash ROM… Read More »

A gibibyte is a unit of data storage that equals 2 to the 30th power, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

A gigabyte is 2 to the 30th power, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

One gigahertz is equal to 1,000 megahertz (MHz) or 1,000,000,000 Hz. It is commonly used to measure computer processing speeds. For many years, computer CPU speeds were measured in megahertz, but after personal computers eclipsed the 1,000 Mhz mark around the year 2000, gigahertz became the standard measurement unit. After all, it is easier to say “2.4 Gigahertz” than “2,400… Read More »
