well if you think of it (kinda funny i was thinking of this a few days go) but back in the day... well before i was born. the refrigerator size hd could store like 1kb-1mb (dont know the exacts but if you think lets take 1 meg.
1m=1,000kb=1,000,000bytes*8=8,000,000bits.
so that refridge size hd could hold 8 million ones and zeros... not that much if you think about it. Now aday
1TB=1,000GB=1,000,000MB=1,000,000,000kb=1,000,000,000,000bites*8=8,000,000,000,000 So today we can hold eight trillion ones and zeros... on something the size of a small book. kinda amazing

Actually it's the following measurement:

8 bits make 1 byte.
1024 bytes makes 1 kilobyte (KB).
1024 KB makes 1 megabyte (MB).
1024 MB makes 1 gigabyte (GB).
1024 GB makes 1 terabyte (TB).

So there are 1,099,511,627,776 bytes in a terabyte and 8,796,093,022,208 bits in a terabyte.

And also, the U.S. National deficit is larger than 8.79 trillion dollars.
