Hey Eddie. Really enjoy your videos, but just to clear up one misunderstanding, a kilobyte is defined as 1000 bytes, and one megabyte is 1000^2 bytes. What you're thinking of is the Kibibyte and Mebibyte, which equal 1024 and 1024^2 bytes respectively. A file that a computer measures as being 2MB in size equals 2,000,000 bytes, not 2,097,152 bytes. For example, try "2MB to bytes" in google (result = 2E+6). One kilobit = 1000 bits, One kilobyte = 1000 bytes. One kibibit = 1024 bits, one kibibyte = 1024 bytes. One byte equals 8 bits. Your explanation that bytes are measured as 1024 but bits are measured as 1000 is (unfortunately) not correct and could lead to a great amount of confusion for those going on to study computing / computer science.
