Ok, whats my comment on this. DAMN

They included data that is not necessarily stored, just created. But if you think about it. People save radio shows, tv shows, pictures they find on the web, and so much more. I never really thought about how much data is created by everyone… That is a staggering number…. And even more staggering, what about all the data created on top of that from previous years that has never been removed.

Wonder what the total count is for all data ever stored?
