Gigabit
A gigabit (Gb) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bits, commonly used to measure data transfer rates and storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabit originated as part of the metric system for digital information, gaining prominence with the rise of high-speed internet and large data storage systems in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in various digital devices and services.
Floppy Disk (5.25", Dd)
A 5.25-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer in computers, typically holding up to 1.2 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1970s, the 5.25-inch floppy disk became widely popular in the 1980s as a portable storage medium before being phased out in favor of higher-capacity and more durable storage solutions in the 1990s.
Current Use
Today, the 5.25-inch floppy disk is obsolete, with minimal use primarily in archival or legacy systems; it is mostly of historical interest and collector's value.
