Computer+Memory+(Brady+Earl)

Contemplating the size of memory in computers is a difficult thing to accomplish. Especially when they keep getting larger, if there was a program that gave a visual on the difference on mega, tera, etc. that could make learning the sizes easier.

(There is an ILM that relates the size of memory in terms of text. [] I really do think that a more visual idea would help some people learn better and it brings it closer to something that most people can imagine. ~Trevor)

Mr. Weeks--I think multiple representations would be nice. It could be in terms of text, astronomy, or whatever. Maybe there would be a way to match different types of representations that are within the same order of magnitude.

Vicki: Could this be a game? We ask them to guess the very data that is on the page (listed above). When they are correct, we record the facts for them to see (in an organized way). It may also help to record some typical sizes of devices (main memory on a IPAD, etc) - but this would become dated very quickly. The examples could be updated to include "text" not "telegram".
