Why 1024?

1024 = 2¹⁰, which means it's the number of possible configurations of ten binary switches. This makes it an important number in computer science.

• 1024 is the number of bytes in a kilobyte, kilobytes in a megabyte, megabytes in a gigabyte, and so on. This was chosen because:
• 2¹⁰ ≈ 10³, which is useful in estimating large powers of 2. See xkcd #394.
