Blog 5

This week in class we discussed bits and bytes. I knew I had heard these terms before but never really understood what they were so I was surprised to see I could incorporate them into my product.

Bits and bytes are used to pass information, one byte can represent up to 256 different foods, and most of devices have storage of 15GB or 30 GB. Each barcode can be transformed into the binary system making it easy for any food to be scanned into the system. It makes it possible for the computer system to process each item and store the information.

An app can also be created for this product using the same scanning system that can be used while in a super market and transferred back to the home base system.
