Week 6- Bits and Bytes

This weeks lectures were probably the most difficult to apply to my project. This is because, at this stage of my entrepreneurial process there is not much need for detailed computer information.

When this will come in handy is during research on the effectiveness of helmets against contact from different angles at different velocities. Because of all the variables that will be involved in this research, there is going to be a ton of data that will needed to be stored somewhere.

The lectures this week dealt with the different size of different pieces of data and how many bytes they take up. After learning of this it's clear that my project would require at least a few gigabytes. This would handle the Excel documents containing research data, as well as reports on breakthroughs and other things of note in my research.
