This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

A 64-bit system is like a highway, while a 32-bit system is like a bypass road.

A 64-bit system allows more data to be transmitted simultaneously, resulting in improved overall speed and performance.

Additional Context

A 64-bit system can handle more data at once than 32-bit, like using 64 fingers instead of 32, hence the analogy of a Highway with multiple lanes and Bypass road with 2 lanes.
