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
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes, used to measure large data storage capacities.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as data storage capacities grew beyond terabytes, becoming more common with the expansion of data centers and large-scale storage systems in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to quantify data in large-scale data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management, reflecting the massive scale of modern digital data.
