  • by 2011, the amount of electronic data created and stored will grow to 10 times the 180 exabytes that existed in 2006, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of almost 60%.
  • by 2023 the number of stored bits will surpass Avogadro's number, which is the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams, or 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6.022 x 10^23).
  • The study, "The Diverse and Exploding
    Digital Universe    ," also found that the rate at which electronic containers for that data — files, images, packets and tag contents — is growing 50% faster than the data itself
