The Petabyte Age

“Sensors everywhere. Infinite storage. Clouds of processors. Our ability to capture, warehouse, and understand massive amounts of data is changing science, medicine, business, and technology. As our collection of facts and figures grows, so will the opportunity to find answers to fundamental questions.” -wired.com

It’s always interesting to me to look back at processor speeds and data storage. The processor in my BlackBerry is faster then what was in my first computer 13 years ago. I have about 1.5 terabytes of storage at the moment, and another terabyte or more backed up on discs. I wonder what amount of data will be typical to have in 10 years from now. Solid state terabyte drives are on the way already.
