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.
Kilobit
A kilobit (kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobit' originated with the adoption of the decimal system in data measurement, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo' meaning 1,000. It has been used since the early days of digital data measurement to quantify data transfer rates and storage sizes.
Current Use
Kilobits are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as internet connection speeds (e.g., 100 kbps), and to specify data sizes in networking and telecommunications contexts.
