Document Summary
Applications with options to create the dmp. Sound we perceive in our natural world are the analog signals of the sound wave. Computers store the information after transmit it to digital data. In computer systems, data is stored and represented in binary digits, called bits. To understand how bits can be used to store information, lets use eye signals as an analogy. To communicate with your friends with your eye signals, you will need to assign meanings (or messages) to the different combinations of open and closed eyes. We call this process encoding the message. In order to use your eye signals to communicate with your friends, they will need to know how to interpret your eye singals. We call it decoding your eye signals. The number of bits to encode information especially for digital media are very large. We use prefixes, such as mega and giga, to better conceive the number of bits and bytes of computer storage.
