Megabit
A megabit (Mb) is a unit of digital information equal to one million bits, commonly used to measure data transfer speeds and network bandwidth.
History/Origin
The term 'megabit' emerged with the development of digital communication and data storage technologies in the late 20th century, becoming standard for describing internet speeds and data rates.
Current Use
Megabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in telecommunications and networking contexts.
Nibble
A nibble is a unit of digital information equal to four bits, or half of a byte.
History/Origin
The concept of a nibble originated in the early days of computer architecture to simplify the representation of hexadecimal digits, which are four bits each. It was commonly used in the development of early microprocessors and data encoding schemes.
Current Use
Today, nibbles are primarily used in contexts involving hexadecimal notation, low-level data manipulation, and understanding data structures in computing. They are less commonly referenced explicitly but remain fundamental in digital electronics and computer science education.
