In this week's lecture, we learned about bits and bytes. Bits and bytes works in many technology formats. They are in music files, photos, and other data files. Over the past decade, with rapid advance in technology, the amount of bits & bytes also increased. With more bits & bytes, you simply can listen higher quality music, better photos, and just about better quality for everything you do on computer.
We also learned the concept of size and their respective terms. These basic concepts and terms are necessary to know as people cares about their data storage and consumer wants to know and understand the size of their hard drive unlike the past. Also, it's worth noting that they care about the size of application, simply because if the application is too big, they are more hesitant to download it because of their limited flash drive size. Also, as carriers's data networks are heavily taxed by all these smartphones and they clearly can't catch up the rate of it's adoption. So they capped the size of application downloadable through their 3G network to small size.
In order to solve the application size problem, I will rely heavily on cloud servers for both processing and storing information. This will allow application's size to be small but robust in it's functionality. Also, as Wi-Fi and 3G networks are becoming norm everywhere, it won't be a problem for people finding constant network connection to use the application.
