Kilobit
A kilobit (kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobit' originated with the adoption of the decimal system in data measurement, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo' meaning 1,000. It has been used since the early days of digital data measurement to quantify data transfer rates and storage sizes.
Current Use
Kilobits are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as internet connection speeds (e.g., 100 kbps), and to specify data sizes in networking and telecommunications contexts.
Exabyte (10^18 Bytes)
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bytes.
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to represent extremely large data quantities, becoming more relevant with the growth of big data and data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage capacities, such as global internet data traffic, data centers, and cloud storage infrastructures.
