Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea: "Forget Megabytes, Our World is Now Measured in Gigabytes
We have entered the age of the gigabyte. Until recently the data files that we use in our electronics, communications and Internet services were commonly measured in megabytes, or one million bytes, but as technology grows more sophisticated the size of those files is swelling to the point where they are now regularly measured in gigabytes, or one thousand megabytes.
Thanks to faster Internet connections, we can quickly download movie files that measure several gigabytes. As the price of semiconductors falls, the memory cards used to hold photos in digital cameras have increased to more than one gigabyte, and Internet companies are expanding the storage size for their users' email accounts from megabytes to gigabytes."
