You may have the storage to store it, but do you have the bandwidth to receive everything that's being produced?

- mhandley 7y agoThere are 8 billion people. If half of them were awake, and 10 percent of that half are actually typing at 40 words/minute, that would be about 13Gbit/s. I couldn't receive that feed today at home, but my work could. A satellite feed could work today too. And I wasn't really talking about today, but 10-20 years from now. Storage will be a problem for a lot longer than network capacity.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoStorage grows geometrically, while network capacity has grown less so. It's possible we will soon have more storage than humans can create content to fill. No problem; automated systems also fill storage!
