The salesperson in a cell phone store is telling me that the phone I'm considering has 8GB of memory, which means I can save 10,000 photos taken with the phone's camera!
Is the salesperson telling me the truth? Why or why not?
No, the average picture on a phone is about 3 megabytes. One gigabyte is the same as 1,000 megabytes. So, 8,000 MB divided by 3 is about 2,666 pictures.
When does byte size matter? Reflect on the many considerations one has related to coding, data transfer, RAM storage, word size, flash and hard drive storage and Web Pages.
Byte size matters when you want to stream videos over wifi or download a song. Depending on how big the file size is and how much storage you have and how fast your wifi is you can stream or download things faster or slower. Not only that, but depending on the files they can take up more or less space which is important for people to determine what they should and should not save directly to the hard drive.
SHUT UP NERD! WAAA
