Eric Schmidt of Google
 “Between the birth of
 the world and 2003,
 there were five
 exabytes of information
 created. We [now]
 create five exabytes
 every two days. See
 why it’s so painful to
 operate in information
 markets?”
      from interview at Atmosphere 2010 conference   Photo by Charles Haynes, Some Rights Reserved
How much is exabyte?
 An exabyte is 1 million
 terabytes
 The entire printed
 collection of the US
 Library of Congress is
 10 terabytes
 An exabyte is 100,000
