Bits and Bytes

   A bit, or a binary digit is the smallest unit of information that can be processed or stored by a computer. A byte is eight binary digits, or bits as one unit. Bytes only recognize two states, combinations of 0 and 1. 
According to the well-known Moores Law, the number of bytes will multiply exponentially as the years increase, and as a result, technology will only get better.
  Bytes are important in the AquaHeat project because it important that we have reliable technology and storage to process all of the various data and imaging needed.
