Picture what a gigabyte holds
Look at a storage number and judge whether it is enough for you.
A gigabyte is a measure of room, like a foot of shelf. One holds around two or three hundred phone photographs.
A megabyte is a thousandth of that. A terabyte is a thousand of them.
Key points
- A gigabyte is roughly two or three hundred phone photographs
- Writing takes almost no room, pictures take some, video takes a lot
What to remember
- Words weigh nothing. Pictures weigh something. Video weighs a lot.
- A gigabyte is room, not speed.
