I'm not especially computer tech savvy but recently bought a 32GB memory chip for 12 quid for my outdoor wildlife camera.
It's tiny; the size of my little fingernail and I was staggered to learn that just one GB is about 8 billion bits so my chip has 256 billion bits. Simply mind-blowing. How on earth can there be enough 'connections' to each bit enabling so many to be stored and given an address so that they can be retrieved?
