"Bits per second" (BPS) is also called "baud". It means the number of individual "on/off" pieces of information. Eight "bits" are put together to make a "byte", which can be used to represent an asciii character. Internally, multiple bits are assembled in an organized way to represent EVERYTHING in your computer from pictures to text files or even applications.
