At some point i think companies like Google will start charging fees for their services we are taking too many things for granted for free like uploading 4k videos on UA-cam or streaming video games which takes huge amount of data .
i try to go thru my storage at least once or twice a year during the holidays and summer but even then the storage continues racking up. The worst thing is trying to find something and not knowing where you put it or thinking you've lost it only to find it later or even the worst case scenario, you're 1TB hard drive fails and all of your data is either lost or corrupted. It's impossible to put everything in one place which just makes backups, organizing data, and condensing that data so much harder
I'm showing this video to a business i'm a consultant for that has me archiving Outlook meetings and user profiles from employees that worked there for 4 months.
There could be a way to save space buy reducing the amount of duplicates on the web, say that you have an image of yourself on twitter and the exact same on posted on facebook, it takes up 2x the amount of space on two different servers. If we could somehow have some sort of central repository to store data, or some sort of service that would check independent servers for duplicate information. Im sure a solution like this would definitely require alot of effort and probably have huge security flaws, as well as having companies and other entities working together
Well the storage is constantly expanding. When we get shortages of data the cost of cloud storage will go up and then the storage will either get expensive enough that people will delete things or the production will increase.
Right now we're enjoying the abundance of storage space and our demands are growing exponentially. We do not have infinite abundance, however. And eventually, scarcity will limit us. I think that would make a good premise for a book. What will we do when there isn't enough storage space for everyone?
It should be noted that if we have the densist possible data storage, it would instantly collapse into a blackhole. A black hole is at the theoretical limit for information density, which is surprisingly proportional to its surface area, rather than volume.
so summing up, the limitations for the Internet are:- - Space (for data centres) - Power (lets face it for every step of the process from data centres down to routers and network switches) - how clever data compression gets - the one which was not mentioned in the video, the physical material required to build the drives to store the data on. unfortunatly its not so easy to pin down what materials are required per say TB
Never underestimate human ingenuity and the desire to not be forgotten. When story telling wasn't enough, we learned to write things down, then we learned new ways to store our writings/drawings/animations, then we learned how to do it digitally on physical medium we'd pick up and carry around, then we learned how to store it on the local network, then we learned how to network our networks together and store things in the cloud. Maybe the next step is to store things out in space and have storage on a galactic scale.
02:18 Wrong - the voice would loose details (just like a very hard compressed mp3 file) and image details will be more blurred - assuming youtube have an algorithm that say how old and often being played, that would determine if the video should stay with high quality or being re-compressed to a lower bitrate. Also, space would not be of any concern, but usernames and mail adresses would be a problem because only so many naming combination can be made (without going creative about usernames)
Data creation is exploding. With all the selfies and useless files people refuse to delete on the Cloud - 92% of the world's data was created in the last two years alone. At the current rate, the world's data storage capiacity will be overtaken by next Spring. It will be nothing short of a catastrophe: data shortages, data rationing, data black markets...
I think we should actually be tackling this now. I think about all the redundant emails people have sitting in their account. Sure, they're tiny amounts of data, but so is a little piece of rubbish and look at what we've got in our landfills
This video made me think about "How digital data is influencing society on a large scale". Data centers being built by companies take up physical space and in turn causing deforestation on a large scale.
At first glance of the title, I wasn't certain if he was referring to storage or addressing. We'll run out of unique ip addresses for the internet before we run out of storage. You may want to consider covering IPv6 if you haven't yet.
It can. Physics says so. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Storing moments in time means infinitely growing information needing to be stored in finite matter. Something will have to be deleted at some point or else storage will have to stop.
In cases of UA-cam, Facebook, and other storage locations, any files that haven't been accessed in 15 to 20 years could be deleted and no one would ever miss it. For UA-cam, Google could even look at the number of views prior to that 15 to 20 year period as a deciding factor and the same could be said about Facebook too. In Facebook's case, they could see if the person has ever logged into their page within 15 - 20 years or did anyone access the content. If it's not being accessed in a very long time, why keep it?
This reminds me of 'yesterday's worry'.... and that was/is IPV4 running out of addresses..... and AFAIK, I'm still on IPV4 at home and mobile. So.... we found more addresses, I guess?
I used to live in a place called Seagate. But that's not the point. Someday we will encounter a sci-fi meme in real life where we encounter a planet that turns out to be a hard drive.
It could be really interesting to see some statistics on what all the data is. How much of it goes to videos or photos? How much of it is porn? Memes? Websites? User information collected by big tech companies to sell off to advertisers?
So does LMG really need to record their shows at or above 4K to get their message across? Using the Internet for data storage has always been a bad idea.
Look up Jan Sloot. He figured out a compression algorithm that could compress and entire movie into just a few kilobytes! He died before he could show it off to the public, though. How unfortunate.
To help in this endeavor Instead of putting my savegames in the cloud I just backup the whole thing there every time I shut it down then delete the game from my drive to redownload it next time.
when we use to receive 240p videos thru emails, that could not be more than 10mb and use to take 30 minutes do download i tought that the idea of a youtube would be a time bomb, and still think how they let people store forever how much 4k videos of any size they want, one day the economic math of this wont close.
What will likely happen first is prices for data storage will go up. People use the cheapest option that works for them, almost as a rule. We keep putting everything in the cloud because paying a little bit more per month to store more is cheaper than paying a bunch up front to store things. Eventually the demand is going to surpass the supply and then we'll see either prices going up, or better technology come forward. The market overall will swing up and down depending on what is available and when. So will the internet run out of space? No. Probably never. It will just get more expensive to keep putting stuff online.
It's funny I was thinking about this exact thing like one month ago and I figured that if the curve was exponential we'd run out of atoms in the universe in 250 years and my mom was like "oh... who cares?" At some point, we're going to need to delete stuff that's already on the internet. Good bye, memes. Hello, my darkness friend.
when it comes to massive amounts of data, at some point a bigger and bigger ratio of this data starts being partially duplicated. And as such, it can be compressed. However, finding these duplications requires an insane amount of processing power. But this is where quantum computers will come in handy. This would mean that over time, the compression rate of "the internet" would increase, reducing the storage needed for new data more and more, until an equilibrium is reached. This, however, is still many decades away.

We keep putting everything in the cloud because paying a little bit more per month to store more is cheaper than paying a bunch up front to store things. Eventually the demand is going to surpass the supply and then we'll see either prices going up, or better technology come forward. The market overall will swing up and down depending on what is available and when. So will the internet run out of space? No. Probably never. It will just get more expensive to keep putting stuff online.
All we need is someone to come from the future with a 1 billion exobyte jump drive and will be straight
It's funny I was thinking about this exact thing like one month ago and I figured that if the curve was exponential we'd run out of atoms in the universe in 250 years and my mom was like "oh... who cares?"
At some point, we're going to need to delete stuff that's already on the internet. Good bye, memes. Hello, my darkness friend.
Yeah those "professor eat peas for 10 hour" video really take a toll on google data center
0:32 thats a terrible site.. almost everything is false information
when it comes to massive amounts of data, at some point a bigger and bigger ratio of this data starts being partially duplicated. And as such, it can be compressed. However, finding these duplications requires an insane amount of processing power. But this is where quantum computers will come in handy.
This would mean that over time, the compression rate of "the internet" would increase, reducing the storage needed for new data more and more, until an equilibrium is reached. This, however, is still many decades away.
