About these units
Bit (bit)
- Definition
- A bit is the smallest unit of digital information, representing a single 0 or 1.
- History
- The concept was formalised by Claude Shannon in 1948 as the basic unit of information.
- Current use
- Bits underpin all digital data; network speeds are measured in bits per second.
Kilobit (Kb)
- Definition
- A kilobit (Kb) is 1,024 bits, often used to express data rates rather than storage.
- History
- It became common for describing modem and early network speeds.
- Current use
- Kilobits per second describe low-bandwidth connections and audio bitrates.
