1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes = 10007, or 1021.
Ok that seems like a large number... Lets see what happens if at birth my parents gave me a 1080p HD camera and say I live to 95years and I never turned it off and recorded my entire life in HD...
Data Facts
Assume my HD video recording is compressed to 1Meg Bytes per second
1 year = 31,556,926 seconds
95 years = 2,997,907,970 seconds * 1Meg of video per second = 2,997,907,970,000,000megs of video of my entire life in HD video.
or 3 PetaBytes of HD Video Data. Pretty cool my entire life captured in HD video would fit on a 3petabyte drive.... though the first and last 10 years might be a little boring...
With a 1 ZettaByte disk-drive you could HD record the entire lives of 333,566 different people....
Or I would need 17,988 ZettaByte Drives to record all 6 Billion People for their entire life.... these are your fun facts for the word of the day....
more storage...
"In this information age, we already know there's a lot of data hanging around – but scientists have now quantified this, saying that until 2007 there were 295 exabytes of data.
An exabyte is a billion gigabytes and 295 of them equates to more data than it's worth comprehending."
