Remember the days when we installed Windows and/or Office with stacks of 1.44 MB stiffy drives. We have come a long way since then and I just wonder: "Where will it end?". In those days we did not even think of giga bytes and now we are talking about tetra bytes. We (the whole world) have become so technology driven no wonder we need bigger storage devices all the time.

This weekend I was tinkering around with some microcontrollers dealing with 32 KB of memory. Today I'm staring at databases with TB of files...

We probably have enough unused DNA in our brains to store petabytes of data, or more. Who's working on the interface? 😉

My 64GB phone is full of pictures and video, and I need to manage the space periodically.
I'm reluctant to accumulate a lot of personal stuff on my iPhone, so the potential risk is minimized in the event the phone is stolen or ransacked by airport security.

One of the sensors I use monitors ten values 1024 times per second. My personal feeling is that the sampling rate could be dropped tp 512/sec. However, some of the group feel that doubling or quadrupling would be better (they love the BigData and NoSQL buzzwords) and think "the more the better" whereas my view (for the on-going project is "less is more". With similar thought process, particularly in IoT, we will be hitting yottabytes as people obsess about data for data's sake!

Lots of backups.
However, my phone has enabled me to capture more memories and moments than I ever thought possible. It's worth the trade for me.

It's always an issue. One of the HADRON scientists who studies one particular particle says that when they run experiments, they capture 1PB/s worth of data. However, they can't process that, so they have the sensors make decisions about how much to pass on to computing systems and then their split second experiment takes weeks of analysis.
Interesting stuff.

If you can use DNA to store data and you can incorporate that into a life form then you have an auto-backup facility.
Computer code is really just data so your AI program could be running on DNA, at which point doesn't it become Real-Intelligence?
Are we actually a walking talking backup system for a higher intelligence?

I recall a STNG episode from back in 1993 where this was the premise.

I have over 200,000 image files on my hard drive. I wind up paying Dropbox to back them up. Flickr, Amazon and Google also get copies.

I suppose one day you'll get around to looking at them all?

I copied them into 365 daily folders and review them each day.
I am also looking to get A.I. to tag them, then use the tagged photos to generate photomosaics.
