History/origin: Derived from the Latin "mille" (thousand) and the SI unit second. It became essential as human technology surpassed the ability to measure time in mere seconds.
Current use: Milliseconds are used to measure computer response times (latency), camera shutter speeds, and scientific experiments.
Minute
Definition: A minute is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds.
History/origin: The division of the hour into 60 minutes comes from the ancient Babylonians, who used a sexagesimal (base-60) number system.
