Based on an encoding schema, where in literal words represent digital data.
•Human factor
- It is much easier to deal with legitimate words rather than a collection of random characters

•Reduction
The greater the number of individual symbols used - the smaller the resultant code.

•Mapping
- A sequence of bits is mapped to individual words ( e.g. 1011011011 : Apple )
- Those words are from a list of 1K (1024) carefully chosen nouns
- Since 210 = 1024, the length of these sequences is 10 bits
