Memory Storage, Now and Then

The huge sized 1GB memory is from IBM built for mainframes in late 1970’s. The same 1GB memory comes in a SD card nowadays! as shown above. What a wonderful technological advancement. Infact we have the Micro SD card which is at least 4x smaller a SD card. 20 years down the road I can imagine 1 Exabyte or 1 Zettabyte at the size of a Micro SD.

1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte - In 2000, 3 exabytes of information was created
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
1024 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte - that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes!!
