There are "little bits" and "tiny bits", so apparently they come in different sizes. I think a normal "bit" must be fairly large, since they can be broken down into much smaller sizes. And then there is an "era". They only seem to get measured from the past, never while the era is happening. Is that because it really has no meaning? Who decides exactly when the era starts and stops? Why does it matter? Does anybody really care anyway?
