big-endian -a strategy for storing or transmitting the most significant byte first.
BIOS (Basic Input Output System) -a set of basic system calls for accessing hardware, or software services in a computer. This is typically a level lower than the operating system.
binary -a base 2 numbering system with the digits 0 and 1.
bit -a single binary digit. Typically the symbols 0 and 1 are used to represent the bit value.
bit/nibble/byte/word -binary numbers use a 2 value number system (as opposed to the decimal 0-9, binary uses 0-1). A bit refers to a single binary digit, and as we add digits we get larger numbers. A bit is 1 digit, a nibble is 4 digits, a byte is 8 digits, and a word is 16 digits.
