Google says 1000 bytes = 1KB?

Hi,

I learned in school that 1024bytes is 1KB. But when you ask google, it is 1000bytes == 1KB.

Has the industry standard changed? Or now it is different for different manufacturer?

Thanks

Your school lied to you. :( Google is correct 1 KB is 1000 bytes. 1 KiB is 1024 bytes.
