14. Pixel
 The term "pixel" is actually short for "Picture Element."
These small little dots are what make up the images on
computer displays, whether they are flat-screen (LCD) or
tube (CRT) monitors. The screen is divided up into a
matrix of thousands or even millions of pixels.
 Each pixel can only be one color at a time. However,
since they are so small, pixels often blend together to
form various shades and blends of colors. The number of
colors each pixel can be is determined by the number of
bits used to represent it

15. Pixel
 8-bit
 16-bit
 24-bit
 32-bit
