It’s estimated that a week’s worth of New York Times . . .

Contains more information than a person was likely to come

across in a lifetime in the 18th century.

It’s estimated that 1.5 exabytes (that’s 1.5 x 1018) of unique new information will be generated

worldwide this year.

That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years.

The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2

years.

That means for a student starting a four-year technical or

college degree . . .

Half of what they learn in their first year of study will be

outdated by their third year of study.

It’s predicted to double every 72 hours by 2010.

Third generation fiber optics has recently been separately tested

by NEC and Alcatel . . .

That pushes 10 trillion bits per second down one strand of fiber.
