It brought a whole new meaning to minding P's and C's. Whoever said you couldn't learn something while playing with your food?
Binary Carrots
Saturday, March 29th, 2003
This evening at the dinner table, Amy asked
me what a byte was. Knowing that she was not referring to the mouthful
of vegetables I had just taken, and that I first needed to explain what
a bit was, I quickly grabbed a handful of vegetables and began to teach
the girls the binary system -- using peas and carrots for zeros and ones.
Working from there, I was able to tangibly demonstrate bits, nibbles
and bytes.
