Line 1: #REDIRECT [[bit]] Short for binary digit, the smallest unit of [[information]] on a machine. The term was first used in 1946 by John Tukey, a leading statistician and adviser to [[five]] presidents. A single bit can hold only one of two values: '''0 or 1'''. More meaningful information is obtained by combining consecutive bits into larger units. For example, a [[byte]] is composed of 8 consecutive bits. ~~[http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/b/bit.html Webopedia:Bit]~~ ~~[[Category:Definitions]]~~ ~~[[Category:Computer]]~~
