Terabit
A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information equal to one trillion bits (10^12 bits).
History/Origin
The term 'terabit' was introduced as digital storage and data transfer rates increased, following the adoption of the metric system for data units. It became common in networking and high-capacity storage contexts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Terabits are used to measure data transfer speeds in high-speed networks, internet bandwidth, and large-scale data storage systems, especially in contexts requiring rapid data transmission and large capacity assessments.
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).
