algoritmo

a set of rules used by digital systems to decide what content to show users based on their behavior and preferences

What is an "algorithm"?

An algorithm on social media is a set of rules or instructions used by platforms to determine what content is shown to users. These algorithms analyze various factors, such as a user's interactions, preferences, and behaviors, to decide which posts, ads, or recommendations will appear in their feed. The goal is to personalize the user experience by showing content that is most relevant or interesting to the individual. For example, if a user frequently likes travel posts, the algorithm may show more travel-related content in their feed.

banda

What is "bandwidth"?

Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network or Internet connection in a given period, usually measured in bits per second (bps). It indicates the speed and capacity of a connection, with higher bandwidth allowing more data to be transferred at once. In simple terms, bandwidth is like the width of a pipe through which data flows—larger bandwidth means more data can pass through quickly. Bandwidth is important for activities like streaming videos, playing online games, or downloading files, as it affects how smoothly these tasks can be performed.
