1 Bit = Binary Digit
8 Bits = 1 Byte
1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1000 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
1000 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
1000 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte

^^ you may want to be more clear...

1 kiloByte is either 1000 bytes or 1024 (2^10) bytes, depending on the specification followed.

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kilobyte</a>

Similarly, 1 MB is 1024 kB or 1000 kB, and so on. Depends on whether you use SI unit or IEC spec.

The technology contained in a single game boy unit in 2000 exceeds all the computing power that was used to put the first man on moon in 1969

Henry Ford produced the model T only in black because the black paint available at the time was the fastest to dry.
