Interesting. So you're saying we'll reach "peak data" in about 100 years?
- paulddraper 11y agoWell, we'll keep getting better and better at extracting more worthwhile data, and increase our ability to use the data we have. And data will allow extensive growth (of business). It might be reaching, but yes, kinda.
- joshmn 11y agoThere's only so much to know. What's more important is what we do with it, and how we apply it.
- alex_hirner 11y agoInteresting thought, I suspect there is something like peak computation per ft^3 and we will hit such barriers earthbound (with quantum computing being the equivalent to solar+cheap storage for this problem).
- jacquesm 11y agoThe SF term is 'computronium'.
- josephjrobison 11y agoI think like oil, we'll keep finding new ways to dig deeper and get more out of it through innovations and new technologies, don't you agree?
