What are the paper equivalents of a byte megabyte etc? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Generally speaking, your computer usually stores one character as one byte (including spaces, apostrophies, etc). So, if you hand-write 50 characters per line on a 25-line sheet of paper, you will write about 1250 bytes worth of information. Broken down, that's about 1k worth of data.
