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.
Exabit
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The exabit was introduced as part of the binary prefix system to represent large data quantities, aligning with the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, and gained recognition with the increasing need for measuring massive data storage and transfer capacities in the digital age.
Current Use
Exabits are primarily used in contexts involving extremely large data storage capacities, high-speed data transfer rates, and global data infrastructure metrics, especially in data centers, cloud storage, and internet backbone measurements.
