What Do 12 Terabytes-Worth of Data Look Like? **PIC**

1 million phone books.

that's a lot of data.

What's a phone book? Like those things they had in the 80s?

i use it to sit on in the car or else i cant see the street :helpme

damnn :D

Do you have the matching foot blocks like Short-Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

9.6 brains.. just WOW

Gotta love pointless comparisons. I'm surprised they don't show how many copies of the Library of Congress it is.

that's not that much .. ? lots of paper ya .. but video data .. notta so much ..

nice pic... informative

:1orglaugh roflmao

Its not video data though its ip and date stamps etc.

12gb of compressed text is a lot. ;)

I didn't know brain memory capacity could be measured in bytes..

I think it can, i've heard it somewhere before too

That was cool

gotta love the accurate data.........

Do you think they'll be hiring from an outsourcing company when they research the data?

wow amazing info thanks for sharing :):):)

so each of our brains has nearly a full terabyte storage space? that's nuts

I think the number of human brains could be wrong. Imagine the amount of information that it takes just to keep the human body working.

quick- someone tell the google that fry's has 1 terabyte hard drives on special for $169

If Google were evil, then they would print out the data, and ship it in containers to Viacom :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh no child seats for you

Very funny!

:1orglaugh too funny

except it's TERAbytes, not gb...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Just for everybody's interest, the human brain has an estimated storage capacity of 10^300 Byte. Of course it can't be measured exactly, so give an take a few zeros :)

I walked down a street a few weeks ago. They must have just delivered new phone books because they were all out in the recycling box still in the wraping.
