 =====Background=====
-We've had a newfound exposure to data this semester, and how programming languages like C interpret different forms of data; we look at things like data type and corresponding storage allocated, and we use these as ingredients in our programmatic solutions.
+When it comes to data, we look at things like data type and corresponding storage allocated, and we use these as ingredients in our programmatic solutions.
-Yet- we've also seen how that inserted layer of abstraction between us and the computer has provided an opportunity to omit and later properly learn what is actually going on: it isn't just about integers and floating point values and ASCII characters... and while each has its own unique ways of accessing and manipulating, they actually do share a common underlying foundation.

 As the computer and all data is largely the same, it is important we increasingly see it as just sequences of 1s and 0s, accessed in units of bytes (these days, and likely for the foreseeable future, consisting of groupings of 8 bits).
