Q. How dose a computer store words, music, pictures, videos and games?


A. The computer stores them in files, and these files are             made up of ones and zeroes, a code that the computer           understands. These numbers are called ‘bits’. The different     ways in which these numbers, or bits, are put together            
create our files. Eight bits make a byte Some files are             bigger than others. A thousand bites makes a kilobyte. A thousand kilobytes make a megabyte. A thousand  megabytes make a gigabyte. And a thousand gigabytes makes a terabyte. These files of different sizes are stored in our computers as ones and zeroes on something called a hard drive and you can keep all your pictures, games and music in them.
