The phrase "units of information" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in technical or academic writing to refer to discrete pieces of data or knowledge that can be measured or quantified. Example: "The study analyzed various units of information, including demographics, socioeconomic factors, and medical records, to determine the impact of genetics on disease susceptibility."
We have achieved these triumphs by building ever more complex networks that treat human beings as units of information.
The work applies the Minimalist ideal of "just one thing after another" to highly personal units of information.
Politicians are keen for the public to know basic units of information about them — for instance, their names.
Everything it does is based on the manipulation of binary digits, or bits—units of information that can be either 0 or 1.
In the mid 20th century, the computer giant IBM's entire business relied on paper, with its famous punch cards ("Do not fold, spindle or mutilate") being used to record units of information in the form of code.
In it, Shannon defined the units of information, the smallest possible chunks that cannot be divided any further, into what he called "bits" (short for binary digit), strings of which can be used to encode any message.
A classical computer — any computer we know today — transforms an input into an output through nothing more than the manipulation of binary bits, units of information that can be either zero or one.
Two-year-olds can usually hold in short-term memory only one or two independent units of information, while 15-year-olds can remember seven or eight units (numbers or words, for example).
The basis of the structural anthropology of Lévi-Strauss is the idea that the human brain systematically processes organised, that is to say structured, units of information that combine and recombine to create models that sometimes explain the world we live in, sometimes suggest imaginary alternatives, and sometimes give tools with which to operate in it.
In modern single-key cryptography the units of information are often as large as 64 bits, or about 131/2 alphabetic characters, whereas two-key cryptography based on the RSA algorithm appears to have settled on 1,024 to 2,048 bits, or between 310 and 620 alphabetic characters, as the unit of encryption.
Here, then, is a case history the first of a series of how GMR changed the face of data storage.Reading, writing and arithmeticData on personal computers are stored on a hard-drive's platter in the form of the orientation of tiny magnetised domains, which constitute units of information storage called "bits" (binary digits).
