Data Storage & Binary Numbers

The topic that we studied and learned about was about Binary Code. Binary code is a coding system  using the binary digits 0 and 1 to represent a letter, digit or other characters. In it, we have a base 10 number system, zero to nine. Every character we store from out keyboard is stored as a byte of data. A byte equals 8 bits, and they are stored as an electrical charges. They are all stored as a sequence of electrical charges.

Artificial Intelligence

Last week we learned about Artificial Intelligence, Human Intelligence and Alan Turing. It was good to learn about Turing to learn about the fact that he created a test called Turing Test for whether  a computer can respond like a human being. Its good to know that Artificial Intelligence is getting more advanced but at the same time scarier because one day Artificial intelligence will have a mind of its own and learn to adapt.
