A researcher at the University of Southern California say they managed to calculate the amount of information that is stored by the human race. And the numbers are huge: 295 exobiti. That means very many posts and comments on Facebook and movies more or less "broadside", and much literature, so that the figures include analog information.

If one grain of sand is a single information, then each person in the world of information is stored a quantity of 315 times higher than the total number of grains of sand in the world, "said Martin Hilbert scientist. "This is the first series of studies aiming to quantify the human race's ability to manage information," said HilbertInainte non too enthusiastic about these numbers is good to know that those 295 exobiti represents less than 1% the information stored in the DNA of one person.
According to researcher, the digital era began in 2002, the year when digital storage capacity worldwide has exceeded the total capacity of analog. By 2007, 94% of our memory is in the form digitala.Se seems that same year, the world of information sent via zetabiti 1.9 technologies such as television transmission or GPS. That equates to 174 information daily from newspapers read by one person. "These figures are impressive, but at the same time, small in magnitude compared to the nature of managing information."
