the difference between 1gb 20 years ago and 1gb now..

 

[SunnyChahal]

BIG difference.
like an ant in front of an elephant.
but it will become even smaller with development of tech.
but i am surprised that 1 GB was that big even 20 yrs ago.

welcome to the past buddy,

 

[Cool G5]

In earlier days a 5mb harddisk would cost Rs.10k.Imagine 1TB after 20 yrs.

this looks like a bicycle, look carefully theres also a little pedal on it at the side

Imagine 1 yottobyte in next 20 years.

 

[vish786]

come to my home i'll show u d difference... u'll get shocks.

Imagine 1 yottobyte in next 20 years.

whats a yottobyte

whats a yottobyte

1YB (Yottabyte) = 1024ZB (ZettaBytes)


|||ly,
1ZB = 1024 EB (ExaBytes)
1EB = 1024 PB (PetaBytes)
1PB = 1024 TB (TeraBytes)
1TB = 1024 GB


Edit: *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

 

[The Conqueror]

A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion or 1024) bytes. It is commonly abbreviated YB. At this time, no computer has achieved one yottabyte of storage. In fact, the combined space of all the computers in the world does not amount to one yottabyte. According to one study, the world stores 161 exabytes as of 2006, with 988 exabytes projected by 2010.[1] When used with byte multiples, the SI prefix may indicate a power of either 1000 or 1024, so the exact number may be either:

1 septillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes — 10008, or 1024, or
1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes — 10248, or 280.
The term "yobibyte", using a binary prefix, has been proposed as an unambiguous reference to the latter value.

Here is a list of current applications which boast of using 1 PetaByte+ Storage.
