How Text Data Gets Store
Computers have become an integral part of modern society, and their existence has brought about significant changes in the way we live, work, and communicate. The first computer was built in the mid-20th century, and since then, they have undergone significant advances to become smaller, faster, and more efficient.
In computers everyone says data is very important thing and everything in computer is data. But how this data gets stored in computers. You will say in Hard disk drive(HDD). But what is HDD? HDD is a disk made of magnetic or optical substances that will stores either 0 or 1 which means whether there is magnetic field present or not in magnetic disks and whether there is light present or not in case of optical disk.
Now to store data on these disks we have created some assumptions like 'a' is having ASCII code 65. Now to save 'a' on disk we convert 65 into binary which is '1000001' Now there is as you must have heard 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS which means that a single character will be mapped by how many bits. and single '0' and '1' is single bit. like wise 8 bit 'a' will be '01000001'.
Computers are incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid. Humans are incredibly slow, inaccurate, and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination.
