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.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Ed)
A 3.5-inch floppy disk with Enhanced Density (ED) capacity used for data storage and transfer.
History/Origin
The 3.5-inch floppy disk was introduced in the late 1980s as a portable storage medium, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. Enhanced Density versions emerged in the 1990s to increase storage capacity, but the format was eventually phased out in favor of more modern storage solutions.
Current Use
The 3.5-inch floppy disk (ED) is largely obsolete, with minimal use today primarily for legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic purposes. It has been replaced by USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage.
