History/Origin
The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent data sizes, initially based on the binary system (1024 bytes). Over time, especially with the adoption of the decimal system for storage devices, the definition has shifted to 1,000 bytes for certain contexts, leading to some ambiguity.
Current Use
Today, 'kilobyte' commonly refers to 1,000 bytes in storage device marketing and data transfer contexts, while in computing and programming, it often still denotes 1,024 bytes. The context usually clarifies the intended meaning.
