All the world is a hard drive and we are merely bits!

Welcome to your world!


In these days of advanced technology and rapid technological advancement, the world we live in is changing into a place full of new and innovative ways to communicate and socialize.  The Internet and computers are a large part of this change and they will continue to be so far into the future.


The more we use computers to interact, the more our lives begin to take the form of the bits of information that they so deftly, and sometimes not so deftly, handle.  So herein lies the story of the bits, a world not too far removed from our own.*L*

Once upon a time(all good stories start this way*L*), there was a world called earth, and in this world lived little lifeforms called bits.  Now these bits were always busy running around taking care of their little bit lives and such.  They rarely concerned themselves with what the other bits were doing or what they were doing themselves.  They were just happy hopping around being bits.  Sometimes bits would bump into other bits and they would get together and form words.  Still others were just happy as single bits.

Now these little bits were the happiest little things you ever saw.  They had a rich culture and history.  One of the most prominent bits in their history was Christopher Columbit.  Now relegated to the recyle bin, he discovered long ago that the bit world was indeed flat, but yet, was circular.

Having this great discovery in mind, the bits divided their world in sectors and lived a very happy bit life.  But every now and again, some of the married bits would get lost and unable to find each other.  They would then go see a defragmenter to work out their problems and get back together in their little bit house. 

Still other bits would go bad and do terrible things, those bits and their homes would be exposed to a scandisker, and if found guilty, they would be removed from the little bit society and their homes were demolished.  Once their homes had been removed, no other bits could build a home there for fear of it happening again. 

Now even though the bits deny it, there were other bits that came to their world from other worlds and infected the native bits with deadly viruses.  A X-bit team was formed to deal with these infectious bits and remove them.  The adventures of these bits was fictionalized and now is the most popular bit TV program on the planet and is called the X-bits!

As The Bit Turns.

OR

Bit Trek II: The Wrath of Bit!

Showbitness is a big part of bit life, because, there is no bitness like showbitness like no bitness I know.  Besides watching telebition with bit actors in bit roles, some bits are mubiticians and play the bitar.

Other than showbitness, the bits have a wide varitey of occubitions.

Some work at McBits and fry Bitmacs, and some work at Bits R US.  There are bitectives who investigate bad bits.  One of the most famous cases they have dealt with concerned O. J. Bitson, but the jury had to find him not bitty because the glove didn't bit.

There are bits that love to work with numbits.  They are called accountbits and mathbiticians.  Some bits even do bithair, they are called biticians.

The bits even have a medibit profession.  There are emergency response bits called parbitics.  And sadly, when a bit expires, they are listed in the obituary for all their bit friends to see.

Like the medibits, other bits pursue a higher edubition and become execubits.  They do little bit bitness and make deals with other bits.  They even have bits that work for them that are called secbitaries.

To run their governbit, the bits have polibiticians.  Elecbited by the popubition, they serve to better the bit world.  Do they?  The head of this bitreaucracy is the presibit and that bit lives in the bit house.  Though some have gotten in trouble and have come close to living in the penitebitiary.

Even though most polibitions are thought of as bad bits.  There have been some that have inspired the bits throughout bitory.



...and that governbit of the bits, by the bits, for the bits, shall not perish from this earth.
                                                           
Abraham Lincbit


I know not what course other bits my take, but as for me, give me libity or give me death!

Exclusive!: The bits EXPOSED!

OR

Will the REAL bit please stand up?


Okay, now that we know a bit of bitory concerning the bits, let's take a different look at a bit and what a bit is defined to be.

bit1

bit (bīt) noun

    1. A small portion, degree, or amount.

    2. A brief amount of time; a moment.

    3. A short scene or episode in a theatrical performance.

    4. An entertainment routine given regularly by a performer; an act.

    5. A particular kind of action, situation, or behavior.

    6. An amount equal to 1/8 of a dollar.

    7. A small coin.



bit2

bit (bīt) noun

    1. The sharp part of a tool, such as the cutting edge of a knife or ax.

    2. A pointed and threaded tool for drilling and boring that is secured in a brace, bitstock, or drill press.

bit3

bit (bīt) noun

    2. A unit of information equivalent to the choice of either of two equally likely alternatives.

    3. A unit of information storage capacity, as of memory.



After all that, now we have some bitory about the bits and some defibitions for the bits.  The bits really don't mind a bit being defined or examined.  They only hope that they can offer us a little bit of insight to our defibition when we look over theirs.  As we look at the bits though, we should really take a bit of a step back and reflect on the bits and their lives and how our lives mirror theirs.  It never hurts a bit to take some time and look at your world bit x bit.
