  1. I come from the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) from 32 and 64 bit integers memory addresses computer architecture world , and I stand corrected if I'm wrong — Data structure containing WORD is of equivalent size with that of 16 bits/2 bytes, DWORD (32 bits/4 bytes). In this video, it's shown Half Word= 2 bytes = 16 bits and Word= 4 bytes=32 bits. Any input or suggestion is appreciated ?

  2. 1 word = 8/16/32/64/… bits depending on memory word size.
    But here you have mentioned that
    1 word = 32bits
    Is it applicable only for 32 bit machine?

  4. Really liked this one. I try using LEGO to explain Bits and Bytes, let me know what you think. I do like your "white-boarding"method of explaining.
