Americans used just over 100 trillion megabytes of wireless data in 2023, up 36% over the prior year in the largest single-year increase in wireless data consumption, according to an industry survey released on Tuesday.

I guarantee you that most people still don’t know what a terabyte is. gigabytes, probably…
anyway all I’m saying is that a headlines goal is to reach and be understood by as many people as possible so obviously they’re not going to use something that nobody knows, like exa, peta, and terabytes.
I think most people have a general feeling for how much a megabyte is because most of the things that we deal with are sized in megabytes.
But a hell of a lot more people will know what a gigabyte is compared to an exabyte, even I had to think for a few seconds to figure out what scale exabyte was compared to what I know, and I work with computer hardware everyday.
yes, that’s what i said
I misread and thought you said people wouldn’t know gigabytes, I disagree that people won’t know Tera bytes especially since most laptops seem to ship with at least 1TB drives these days.
