Am I the only one who actually thinks this is plausible? First, I don't think all the storage will be on hard drives constantly spinning and requiring electricity. Imagine huge tape spools like in the old days but with 10,000x more data on them and miles and miles long.
Also, every conversation, every satellite image at full res. There's a lot of data out there. Every website with every update. every database. every conversation, in every country.
They didn't say they'd be at a yottabyte next year, but no doubt, there will be that much information to store and the NSA doesn't work on startup timelines.
