Three researchers from the University of California at San Diego conducted an interesting study in which counted the number of business information that is processed by computer servers around the world.
If this information transfer in the books, then formed a huge pile that would reach from the earth the eighth planet of the solar system - Neptune, and vice versa - and so 20 times a year.
Scientists estimate that 27 million. computer servers located in different parts of the world was treated with 9. 57 zettabyte, which is 9. 5000000000. terabytes or 9,570,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of information in 2008. A scientific paper was presented at the Storage Networking World Conference in early April.
According to investigators, every two years, the total load on. servers. markedly increases. If this trend continues, sometime before the year 2024 servers will handle this amount of information in the form of books would reach Alpha Centauri - the nearest to our solar system in the Milky Way (in the case, if the thickness of Book 4. 8 cm. And it contains two. 5 MB of information).
In addition, according to Professor Roger Bohn, a lot of information there is a short period of time. It is created, quickly used in the correct order and removed, that is, people will never see it.
