Gigabyte (10^9 Bytes)
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9 bytes).
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced as part of the decimal system of data measurement, aligning with SI prefixes, to standardize data sizes. It became widely adopted with the rise of digital storage devices in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabytes are commonly used to measure data storage capacity in computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer rates and file sizes in various applications.
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.
