"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."
