Bits

The bit (binary digit) is the fundamental unit of information in computing and digital communications, representing a single binary value — either 0 or 1. Formalised by Claude Shannon in his landmark 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," the bit is the atomic unit of information theory: the information content of a fair coin flip is exactly 1 bit. All digital data — text, images, audio, video, and executable code — is ultimately stored and transmitted as sequences of bits.

Gigabits

The gigabit (Gbit) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000 bits (10⁹ bits). It is the standard for high-speed network connections: enterprise ethernet, home fibre broadband, and data centre interconnects are rated in gigabits per second (Gbps). One Gbps equals 125 megabytes per second (MB/s). Modern smartphones can receive 5G data at speeds approaching several Gbps under optimal conditions.
