A bit is the smallest amount of information that a computer can store; all bits are in the form of either a 1 or a 0, which in mechanical terms is equivalent to on or off. A byte is a collection of 8 bits which together can be used to define an alphanumerical term, which is a letter or a number. Bits are only used to construct bytes. The bytes are then used to contruct all other programs and data storage.
