	The concept is simple. A skeleton is stupid, but smart enough to recognize a simple a yes/no situation. Imagine a nine skeleton set up. Eight skeletons are told to raise or lower the left arm in a pattern. Down, up, up, down, up ,down, up, up; Or, in binary, 01101011.		The concept is simple.

	For the sake of argument we'll say a Skeleton can hold two bits of information as a simple baseline; so four skeletons can make a byte. using that as our base we can say that it would take 360 skeletons to store a typical line of text from a book, 160000 to store a page of a novel, and a mind-boggling 4,194,304 to store a three-minute song.

	Your average flash drive has 8GB, to replicate that storage in skeletons you need four billion. There are roughly seven billion people on this planet (as of 2020), so you would need to kill four out of every seven people, '''on the whole planet''' in order to make a working Skeleton Computer FLASH DRIVE.

There are roughly seven billion people on this planet (as of 2020), <s>so you would need to kill four out of every seven people, '''on the whole planet''' in order to make a working Skeleton Computer FLASH DRIVE. </s> Counterpoint: you aren't looking for fresh corpses or even recent skeletons. Considering that it is currently estimated that 117 billion humans have ever lived on Earth, it isn't as impossible as it sounds, especially if a skeleton can use more than a single point of information. You will still need a lot of skeletons but if you can make the skeletons count basic numbers or in a setting where there a lot more creatures that could be skeletons than humans, then this is less of an issue.

	In order to get a computer that can 'compute' you need billions more skeletons in order to have enough 'bits' that it can make decisions.		In order to get a computer that can 'compute' you need billions more skeletons in order to have enough 'bits' that it can make decisions.

	Additionally: a single skeleton can hold more than a single bit of information. More than just 'raise left arm' you can store as many as ten bits of information on a single skeleton since you're using all the fingers. Even more if you consider the head as an 11th bit, more if you count arm position. The only limit to how much information a skeleton can hold is how many states of information the Skeleton receiving the information can understand, and how complex the programmer can make it.

	A computer works by storing information in a unit of information called a bit. A bit is a simple positive or negative status, or yes or no, only two options which is why computers are said to use '''bi'''nary language. Disks work by having thousands of dips and bumps in their surface that are read by a laser. Bits are then grouped into more complex bytes which roughly equal a single laser worth of information. It takes roughly 8 bits of information (eight 'yes' or 'no') to make a byte and bytes are typically the smallest unit of information a computer works with. a byte can represent 256 different values. Bits also use the binary system for big things; a Kilobyte is 2<sup>10</sup> bytes big, or 1024 bytes.		A computer works by storing information in a unit of information called a bit.
