Bit level vs byte level

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-17 16:08

Am I correct in believing that video game consoles such as the NES used graphics and instructions at the bit level?  Why don't modern operating systems use instructions that are only a few bits rather than bytes?  You'd be doing the same operations at 1/8 the scale.

No idea what anyone is talking about.  I'm planning on majoring in computer science, though.  Will they teach me this kind of stuff, or shove more Java down my throat?
