By 2015, 1 Zettabyte of Data Will Flow over the Internet

An estimated 5 exabytes of unique information were created in 2008. This is equivalent to 1 billion DVDs. Just three years later, the amount of unique information created was 1.2 zettabytes. This is the same as every person on Earth tweeting for 100 years, or 125 million years of your favorite 1-hour TV show. Much of this information is coming from our insatiable desire for rich media—especially video. In fact, more than 90 percent of the data flowing over the Internet in 2015 will be from video.
