Data storage has been growing exponentially over the past decade.

Look up the following capacities on the Internet:

bit
nibble
byte
kilobyte
megabyte
gigabyte
terabyte
petabyte
exabyte
zettabyte
yottabyte.

How big are they?

Give me an example of what can be stored with each capacity, i.e. Blueray holds 500 GB of data.
