How much data is out there?

O PLANET HOW MUCH DATA ARE WE TECHNOLOGY NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR CREATING? We are in the midst of the Information Age. With more people connecting to the internet than ever before, we are collectively creating and uploading more content online. Are you feeling the information overload? By 2020 25 1 million GB = 1 petabyte = 13 years of HD TV consumed (24/7) billion things loT - Gartner predicts that 25 billion things will be connected to the internet by 2020 There will be 7.6 billion internet users a G 1 zettabyte is 10^21 or 10,000,000,0 00,000,000, Today Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook hold approximately 1,200 petabytes of information (1.2 million terabytes) 000,000 bytes By 2020, our digital universe will grow from 4.4 zettabytes today to around 44 zettabytes (That's 44 trillion gigabytes!) By 2020,17 megabytes of new infor- mation will be created every second for every human being on the planet Each Second, Each Hour, Each Year 1 min. 1 sec. Every minute f Every second, we Google 40,000 we upload 300 hours of video search queries. That amounts to 3.5 billion to YouTube searches per day and 1.2 trillion searches per year. 1 day In Aug 2015, 1 billion users were recorded using Facebook in a single day 5 yrs. 1 year By 2020, the total In 2015, 1 trillion photos will be amount of smart phone users will taken and billions amount to 6.1 will be uploaded billion globally to the internet. Information Overload in the Information Age We analyze and use If our digital universe roughly holds 4.4 Zettabytes of information, and we are only analyzing 0.5% of the data that we create, we are led to question the intrinsic value of the information we are creating. only 0.5% of the data thatwe create Russel Lincoln Ackoffs Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) pyramid relates the different types of infor- mation and their function. The loT revolution will collect large amounts of raw data. But will we able to translate this data into more meaningful information? Wisdom- When information is put into action giving us insight to the "long-term consequences of any act" Wisdom Knowledge- Information put into practice. Knowledge Information- Organizes raw data into coherent patterns; can be likened to alphabet letters composed into a sentence. Information Data- The elemental construction of information; can be likened to alphabet letters randomly stringed together.
