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.
Zip 100
Zip 100 is a data storage unit used to measure the capacity of storage devices, equivalent to 100 bytes of digital information.
History/Origin
The Zip 100 unit originated from the development of the Zip 100MB removable disk storage system in the late 1990s, where it was used informally to denote small data capacities in bytes for specific technical contexts.
Current Use
Today, Zip 100 is rarely used in practical applications; it serves mainly as a historical reference or in specialized technical discussions within data storage and digital measurement contexts.
