The gigabit originated as part of the metric system for digital information, gaining prominence with the rise of high-speed internet and large data storage systems in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in various digital devices and services.
Exabyte
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to one quintillion bytes (10^18 bytes).
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as data storage capacities increased, serving as a large-scale unit to measure vast amounts of data, especially in data centers and cloud storage, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage and transfer, such as global internet traffic, data centers, and cloud storage capacities in modern digital infrastructure.
