title: Why 1024 "bytes" make one kilobyte...isn't it 1024 bits make one kilobyte
body: <p>If 2^0 is 1 bit and 2^1 is 2 bits then why 2^10 is called one kilobyte but not one kiloBIT.
  As 8 bits are equal to one byte then 1024 bIts are 128 bytes not 1024 bYtes.</p>
  
  <p>And if one kilobyte is equal to 1024 bytes then this should be 1024*8= 8192 bits, no?</p>
