A whole lot of bits

Berkeley Lab Notes:

According to a UC Berkeley study, the world produced approximately 5 exabytes of new information in 2002. That's roughly the equivalent of half a million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress's print collection. Where does it all go? Mostly on hard disks like the one inside your computer.
