Bit
A bit is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications, representing a binary value of 0 or 1.
History/Origin
The term 'bit' was coined in 1947 by John Tukey, derived from 'binary digit,' and became widely adopted with the development of digital computers in the mid-20th century.
Current Use
Bits are used to measure data transfer rates, storage capacity, and digital information, often in combination with larger units like bytes (B).
Petabyte (10^15 Bytes)
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bytes or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data storage units, gaining prominence with the growth of big data and large-scale data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to measure large-scale data storage capacities in data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management systems.
