Bit, byte, kb and where did we get them from?

Of course as a rule all this comes from us.

How can we explain this for the common man?

If you explain the highly or more advanced things in any discipline in it's more raw way then that line of discipline has achieved it's goal. We can say it with certainty.

Well coming to the topic bit, byte, kb, mb, gb, tb etc are computer related terminologies. But, how did the inventors give such names to them? Well everything from the big bang theory, excavations of harappa and mohenjadaro, epics such as the ramayana and the mahabharata all did not happen overnight or compilations by one person. The bible from the book of genesis to the revelations took time over centuries. Everything was got in bits which was compiled painstakingly overtime across many generations. The latest being is science and technology in computers. Tomorrow if want the posterity or your grandchildren's grandchildren's to know what you have done in your time. You'll You'll have to simply and compile it in a way that the future generations after you have gone hundred's of year later will be able to translate it and understand it following certain universal rules followed universally.

The first time you're in a computer class they start you with bit, bytes etc or the generations of computers. As you advance you'll try to understand this in a simple and universal rule followed universally. So your first or second class will be greek and latin. So anything like a mobile phone if it is still not in the hands of a common man it means it is still going research. So if you can translate highly complex things in a simple way a common man in your locality is able to understand it then you can be sure of your invention is starting to reach it's objective.

Conclusively, there's nothing to fear of technology if you can use it safely for the use of man and for the greater good of our earth for the safety and growth. To put it more plainly you cannot give a nuclear device that can detonate to every human and tell them to keep it safe, because it is more advanced than conventional warfare to keep him and his surroundings safe from thieves and robbers also because it can cause damage on a vast scale over kilometers. It literally translates anything safe for use by a common man means that it is capable of advancement for him. The radio, television are all examples of such advancements. Once considered as a luxury and it is no more now. Today what is considered as luxury can be more common in the future.

Banking & Finance: Mint

In the world of banking, a mint is not a place where coins are made, but rather a term used to describe a financial institution that has been granted permission by a central bank to issue banknotes. This role is also known as a note-issuing bank or a currency board. The concept of a mint in banking is rooted in the history of currency. In the past, coins were minted by governments or private entities, and they served as a means of payment and a store of value. However, as economies grew and trade expanded, the demand for larger denominations of currency increased. This led to the development of banknotes, which were issued by private banks as a way to facilitate transactions and provide a convenient alternative to coins. As the use of banknotes grew, governments became concerned about the potential for inflation and the impact of private banknote issuance on the overall stability of the economy. In response, central banks were established to regulate the issuance of banknotes and ensur...

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

Finance & Banking: Brief history of the modern bank

The history of the modern bank can be traced back to ancient times when people used various methods of storing and exchanging wealth. One of the earliest forms of banking originated in Mesopotamia around 2000 BC, where temples served as the first lenders. These temples provided loans to farmers in the form of grain or silver, with interest rates varying depending on the time of repayment. In ancient Egypt, the precursor to modern banking emerged with the establishment of grain banks that stored surplus crops and provided loans to farmers during periods of scarcity. These banks also served as intermediaries for international trade, exchanging goods for gold and silver. The concept of banking continued to evolve in ancient Greece and Rome, with moneylenders and wealthy individuals offering loans to merchants and traders. The Romans, in particular, developed a sophisticated banking system that included the issuing of promissory notes, letters of credit, and the establishment of the first ...
