1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabyte = 1 Yottabyte
What comes after 1 Yottabyte? Well, there have been some proposals put forward for the following, and apparently a decision should have been made this year in order to finalize these terms:
1024 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
1024 Brontobytes = 1 Geobyte
1024 Geobytes = 1 Zotzabyte
According to CSIRO, in the next decade, astronomers expect to be processing 10 petabytes of data every hour from the Square Kilometre Array telescope. The telescope is expected to generate around 1 exabyte of data every four days. According to Cisco, annual global IP traffic for 2013 is estimated to be around 667 exabytes. With augmented reality on its way and a number of other exciting things, I’m estimating global IP traffic to be around a couple 100 Zotzabytes by 2018.
so in the matrix, one human being would need about 680 brontobytes of storage just for him/herself… too much info….
What about Omega or a googlebyte?
I’ve heard otherwise about what comes after a yottabyte, apparently it is a xonabyte. Based on ancient alphabet like ancient greek alphabet. Here is the list I found.
