What's in a Byte? From Byte to Brontobyte

What's in a Byte? From Byte to Brontobyte

I always wondered how many bytes were in a whatchamabyte... in my research I believe I have found the answer.

1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1000 Zettabyte = 1 Yottabyte
1000 Yottabyte = 1 Brontobyte - a 1 that is followed by 27 zeroes
