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).
Exabit
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The exabit was introduced as part of the binary prefix system to represent large data quantities, aligning with the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, and gained recognition with the increasing need for measuring massive data storage and transfer capacities in the digital age.
Current Use
Exabits are primarily used in contexts involving extremely large data storage capacities, high-speed data transfer rates, and global data infrastructure metrics, especially in data centers, cloud storage, and internet backbone measurements.
