1.2 Zettabytes

I just read this at Business Week:

"This year, according to IDC, the world's digital universe will reach 1.2 zettabytes, or 1.2 quadrillion megabytes.   If you take every word ever written in every language, it's about 20,000 times that."

  • What is a zettabyte?    1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes = 10007 = 1021
