over time the byte has gotten smaller and we can fit more bytes in a bit
meggas have become giggas and giggas are nearing teras!!! soon enough we will have a 999 teraybte harddrive - the maximum size possible. i think its about time we create a new type of byte so we can store more ram

in a day a fibre optic cable can move about 100 terabytes

the "fibre-day" is a stupid unit but if you eat fibre every day you'll poo poo a lot

100 tb = 1 shitibyte

There was a real campaign going around a while back to have the next SI prefix after "yotta-" be "hella-". 2⁹⁰ bytes would be a hellabyte.

yottabyte is the best because it kinda sounds like "you oughtta byte".

like, you oughtta have more bytes, and then boom, there you go, you have a yottabyte, over a septillion damned bytes.
