Is this right?
Hello Bill
how ya
doin?
Not bad Steve
but my hard
drive’s
playing up a
bit.

6. COMPUTER TALK
Computers communicate and share data using
1’s and 0’s.
This is called:
Binary

7. BINARY
Usually written as 8 bits:
The people holding signs would be 1’s and those
without would be 0’s.
128
+ +
= 11

8. DECODING BINARY
The 8 bits represent:
128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
So to convert 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 we can use
the table below:
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1
Adding these together gives 21
