Notes

Technology this century allows us to achieve things we once never thought possible. Information can be stored in vast quantities; for example, Wal-Mart handles data worth 2.5 petabytes in each hour, 167 times the amount of books in the America’s library of congress.

“We are at a different period because of so much information” James Cortada, Pg 3 -What period is being spoken of?

Is it possible for a computer/ any form of technology to contain a yottabyte? If not, when do they believe it is possible to attain this?

The jobs of statisticians is becoming increasingly popular due to the increase in amounts of data needed to be handled

The main reason of the increase in data, or the "information explosion" is due to the advance and progression in technology, the yottabyte is capable of carrying more information then possibly imagined, when will it be necessary to create and use?
