Best Answer

It is just the standard unit of memory or disk storage capacity. Similar in concept to the gallon (or liter in metric countries) as the standard unit of fluid capacity for fuel, water, etc. storage tanks.

Its tending to be superseded by gigabytes or terabytes with recent advances in memory and disk technologies expanding their capacity.
