IDC recently upgraded their 2020 forecast for storage growth from 40x to 50x of what we have now, saying there will be 6.6 zetabytes of digital stuff, or almost two desktop drives fully loaded with data for every single person in worldwide population then.

With all lectures past and many still to come, hundreds of copies will end up on peoples’ desktops and in their mailboxes.
