Kilobyte (10^3 Bytes)
A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes, based on the decimal system.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent 1,000 bytes, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo'. Over time, it has also been used to denote 1,024 bytes in some contexts, especially in computer memory, leading to some ambiguity.
Current Use
Today, 'kilobyte' typically refers to 1,000 bytes in data storage and transfer contexts, following the decimal system. However, in computer memory, it is often used to mean 1,024 bytes, reflecting the binary system.
Dvd (2 Layer, 2 Side)
A DVD (2 layer, 2 side) is a digital optical disc storage format capable of storing approximately 8.5 GB of data, with two layers on each side for increased capacity.
History/Origin
The DVD format was developed in the mid-1990s as a successor to the CD, introducing higher storage capacity and improved data transfer rates. The 2-layer, 2-side version was introduced to further enhance storage capabilities, becoming widely adopted in the early 2000s for data storage and multimedia applications.
Current Use
Today, DVDs are primarily used for media playback, data archiving, and distribution of movies and software, although their usage has declined with the rise of digital downloads and streaming services.
