9. Storage
Measures
Computers have a very elementary way to store data: they can remember only 0 or 1.
A value of 0 or 1 is called bit and all computer data are stored as sequences of bits.
A sequence of 8 bits is called a byte,

10. Modern computers are able to deal with enormous quantity of bytes:
Kilobyte (KB), approximately 1,000 bytes (actually 1024 bytes)
Megabyte (MB), approximately 1,000 KB or one million bytes
Gigabyte (GB), approximately 1,000 MB or one billion bytes
Terabyte (TB), approximately 1,000 GB or one trillion bytes

11. Moore’s law
Number of transistors in a processor doubles every 18 months.
Unfortunately software’s performance does not increase with the same rate.

12. Devices Hard Disk Internal hard disk External hard disk
The computer uses several devices to permanently store and move data, which vary a lot in terms of capability, cost, speed and portability.
