In 2006, 161 exabytes of data were created in the world.

    In 2006, 161 exabytes of data were created by computer users (that is, 2 to 20 degree gigabytes). This includes any information generated in one way or another - be it text, images, videos, new databases, and so on. The calculations were carried out by the famous research company IDC.

    Experts believe that soon we will have nowhere to store information. True, in this 161 exabyte of data there are quite a lot of repetitions, and if IDC employees did not take them into account, the resulting number would have come out much more modest - 40 exabytes.
