Google: Entire World's Content In An iPod By 2020


Talk about how cool and important storage will be in the future, Google BP Sukhinder Singh Cassidy drove home the point at the Captains of Industry Conference. She pointed out the fact that prices have fallen 3.6 million since 1982, and said that:

"if this trend continues, and the cost of storage continues to decrease, we estimate that somewhere around 2020, all the world's content will fit inside an iPod, and all the world's music would sit in your palm as early as 2015...rendering the CD format unnecessary."

She went on to say:

"We estimate that everyday somewhere around 65,000 new videos are added to YouTube, 100,000 blogs it's just staggering if you look at the rate at which content is being produced."

A 100,000 blogs? wow!!!
