what comes next in this sequence? Byte =1, KB=1,000, MB=1,000,000, GB= 1billion?, TB= 1trillion?

OK, Let's get a few facts straight, shall we?
Digital information is in sequences of 1's and 0's, OK? These charecters are called "bits" 8 of these charecters go make a byte, got it?
Why's it 8 of these to make one byte?
Well, it's because the most simple algorithm needs 8 charecters, OK?
Now, 1024 bytes make a Kilo Byte.
1024 KiloBytes, make a MegaByte.
1024 MegaBytes make a GigaByte.
1024 GigaBytes make a TeraByte.
1024 TetraBytes make a PetaByte.
etc, etc
At each stage, it's 1024 times the number to make the next level, OK?
This is the very basic Concept that you need to understand.
Also, remember that the difference between Kb and KB is Kilobit and Kilo Byte! That's why I've been using the Byte here. A 1 Mbps Internet Connection is actually one eigth of that in Bytes, actually.
All the best!
Hope this helped.
Cheers!

After Byte, KB, MB, GB and TB it is:
Petabyte
Exabyte
Zettabyte
Yottabyte
In that order.
The Initials are just the first letter then B, following the sequence of the other ones. If you want the values, they are in the wikipedia article I have linked to in my sources.

PB. A petabyte is 10^15 or 1000^5.

Petabyte. Then it goes Exabyte, Zetabyte and Yottabyte.

peta= 1x10^15
exa = 1x10^18
zetta = 1x10^21
yotta = 1x10^24
1x10^27
1x10^30

In acending order...
The basics:
bit
byte
Then:
kilobyte
megabyte
gigabyte
terabyte
petabyte
exabyte
Zettabyte
Yottabyte
