Dec 22.2012

Currently we measure computer memories as follow :

gigabytes
terabytes
petabytes
exabytes
zettabytes
yottabytes (24 zeroes)

What’s next (27 zeroes) ?

hellabytes
or
manybytes

I’m suggesting

@JMRKERDec 22.2012 — Instead of adding zeros, why not make the ones we have more efficient?

Less bloat and more functional and efficient use of the memory. That's the trick.

I can remember when 64K was more than enough to do most tasks at the time.

Now we have tons of memory to save spam and useless emails for products I don't need.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the extra capabilities of additional memory,

but it seems wasteful to have it and use it so thoughtlessly.

@LesshardtoofindDec 22.2012 — Right!

Or why not actually come up with a standard for what a byte is so there aren't so many discrepencies between each machine?

Ever looked up the definition of a byte?

There is no memory standard so if there is a discrepency of 767 bytes at 32k because someone decided to round how big does that discrepency become when you get to a yotta byte?

Success!
