Gigabit
A gigabit (Gb) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bits, commonly used to measure data transfer rates and storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabit originated as part of the metric system for digital information, gaining prominence with the rise of high-speed internet and large data storage systems in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in various digital devices and services.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Hd)
A 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, typically holding up to 1.44 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch HD floppy disk became a standard for portable data storage, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. It was widely used until the rise of USB drives and cloud storage in the early 2000s.
Current Use
Modern usage of 3.5-inch HD floppy disks is virtually obsolete, limited to archival purposes, vintage computing, and collectors' items. They are rarely used in contemporary data storage solutions.
