Working with Files
All data or information you put in your computer is stored as a
file.
When you are saving a new piece of work, you are also creating and naming a file.
When you are opening a file, you are retrieving or accessing it.
When you are adding data to this file or changing its contents, you are updating or editing.
When you are running a program, you are executing files.
When you are transferring a file from your computer and placing it to a server so others can see it, you
are uploading.
When you are getting a copy of a file through the internet and saving it to your computer, you are
downloading.
When you are converting a file from its original format to the format of the program you are currently using,
you are importing.
If you are converting a file you are currently using into different format, you are exporting it.
If you have a very large file and you want it to become smaller, you can compress it.
