Bits are just bits—1s and 0s. Without instructions for encoding or abstracting the bits, they have no meaning. Think about this: What would happen if an image encoded in RGB format were read as BGR (blue-green-red) format instead? Assuming that all other aspects are the same, blue and red in the image would be reversed, resulting in some alternate color schemes for the image. Although this is a trivial example, it is important to realize that these standards for encoding give meaning to the sea of bits floating around your computer and the Internet.
