We took a look at the module descriptor and I talked a bit about the module in general.
We looked at how bits can be used to represent things in the real world. They can have meaning as long as there is some agreement on a scheme for interpreting them. Bits by themselves have no meaning.
EXERCISE:
I asked students to go find an ASCII table online and to write out their name in bits. ASCII can use 7 or 8 bits. Don't forget the space between your first and last names.
Uppercase A is 1000001. Lowercase a is 1100001. Space is 0100000.
My name is 01000011 01101111 01101100 01101001 01101110 00100000 01001101 01100001 01101110 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111.
Binary values don't have spaces in them, but it makes them easier for humans to read.
