Just as a second is a fractional part of a minute (1/60th) and an hour is a fractional part of a day (1/24th), a nanosecond is a fractional part of a second, which is one-billionth (1/1,000,000,000). In this regard, the nanosecond should not be considered as something "created". Instead, it is a quantity that exists because it fits well with our understanding of numbering systems and with our ability to conceptualize and to measure the passage of time. The nanosecond becomes useful in the development of radar, computers, data processing networks, and other advanced technologies, as does its smaller division "the picosecond", which is one-trillionth of a second (1/1,000,000,000,000).
