*looks up "exabyte*

hmmmm...hmmmm....

!!!!!


*puts eyeballs back in head*

From Wiki: "A popular expression claims that "all words ever spoken by human beings" could be stored in approximately 5 exabytes of data, often citing a project at the UC Berkeley School of Information in support. The 2003 University of California Berkeley report credits the estimate to the website of Caltech researcher Roy Williams, where the statement can be found as early as May 1999. This statement has been criticized. Mark Liberman calculated the storage requirements for all human speech at 42 zettabytes, if digitized as 16 kHz 16-bit audio, although he did "freely confess that maybe the authors [of the exabyte estimate] were thinking about text."

*looks up zettabytes*
