Kilobits

Definition: A kilobit (kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits in the decimal system or 1,024 bits in the binary system, commonly used in data transfer rates.

History: Kilobits emerged as a practical unit for measuring data speeds in telecommunications and networking. While the International System of Units (SI) defines a kilobit as 1,000 bits, the binary-based computing system often uses 1,024 bits, leading to some variation in usage.
