Every time when human being are in great hurry, they want their computer start  in blink of eye. But the computer takes couple of minutes Rather than take it for granted.What is the reason behind is very amazing which everyone should know.The slave robot try to follow every order of human being which human thinks very easy. But reader should get idea,how critical  it is after reading this article.


1. Memory in Bits, Bytes -


If you  are complaining  about the 8GB memory card which have less memory capacity.Then you should know first  what make eight whole gigabytes.1 gigabyte, =1024 megabytes; 1 megabyte =1024 kilobytes and kilobyte=1024 bytes one. Breaking it down to the lowest level, you've got 1 byte =8 bits.This computer science of grade matters? Because on a flash drive, each bit of data is made of eight separate floating gates, each comprising two physical transistors, which can basically record themselves as either a '1' or a '0'. Each floating gate works on a on quantum mechanics .So before laugh on that , think about behind that roughly calculation of  maths  , 549,755,813,888 individual gates arrayed inside  8GB memory card.Mighty clever engineering indeed behind that..

2. The Amazing entry and exit in the World -

The distance data travels your computer made easy for you from  America to  Russia. OK let assume that if you click on the  America which should take you to Wikipedia. With one click, reached to   America from a bunch of data from servers, then you moved to  Russia, about 6000 km away, then again you return back to  America .Your request has traveled from your computer through -local Wi-Fi router or a modem - to a local data center - from there onward - all the way to  Russia  and back again - in around 0.1 of a second, all it depends on your internet connection speed.By comparison, for your body it takes around 0.15 of a second for a signal to pass from your fingers, up your spinal cord to the brain, and back down again.

3. The work that goes into a Ctrl+C(copy) , Ctrl+V(paste) -

Its very critical process to copy or paste any data from one file to another file.In practice,while in computer  writing a tiny 4 KB file can require the drive to read 2 MB (its surprisingly amazing that this is thousands of times more data that the 4 KB file you're trying to write), store that temporarily, erase a whole tonne of blocks, then re-write all the data. It's rather labour intensive, so think before you copy/paste  your files around next time.


4. Small size but Big memory storage  devices for your computer -

Random access memory (RAM) is temporary storage space used by computer uses to run Windows and other programs. When your computer is turned off RAM is not used for storage. It’s not similar like disk space, which is the amount of storage space available on your computer's hard disk.Different computers and programs have different RAM requirements. Every computer has one or more disk drive is the device that store information on  plastic disks or  metal. Hard disks can store a vast amount of information,videos, including photos, music,programs  , documents and more. Your computer's hard disk drive stores information even when your computer is turned off. I am also the owner the antivirus technical blog .So do visit my blog McAfee support.
