History/Origin
The term 'megabyte' was introduced in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage, initially representing 1,048,576 bytes (2^20), but the decimal definition of 1,000,000 bytes became common in the context of data storage and marketing.
Current Use
Today, the megabyte is used to measure data size in contexts such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates, with the decimal definition (10^6 bytes) being standard in most commercial and marketing applications.
Gigabyte
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced in the 1970s as part of the binary prefix system, initially representing 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Over time, it has also been used to denote decimal gigabytes of 10^9 bytes, especially in marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Gigabytes are widely used today to quantify storage capacity of computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer limits and file sizes in various applications.
