How Much Data Is There In The World? And What Is A Zettabyte?
I have read the following passage just recently:
More information was generated in 2001 that in all the previous existence of our species on earth. In fact, 2001 doubled the previous total. And 2002 doubled the amount present in 2001, adding around 23 “exabytes” of new information —roughly the equivalent of 140,000 Library of Congress collections. Growth in information had been historically slow and additive. It was now?exponential.
Martin Gurri, "The Revolt of the Public" 2nd edition 2018, page 17
But what is an exabyte? It is 1,024 pitabytes.
What is a petabyte? It is 1,024 terrabytes.
What comes after exabyte? Zettabyte: 1,024 exabytes.
