I've know about kilo, mega, giga, and tera, and peta for a while. What confused me is what comes next. If you think I'm going crazy, just consider that Walmart measures its data is petabytes and current computer speeds are measured in gigahertz. I've been wondering about how one would measure the computer speed of a network of millions of gigahertz computers.
