Too many data produced ???

According to a recent study from IDC, we created 161 billion gigabytes -- 161 exabytes -- of digital information last year (2006). That's a lot ( 12 time the distance Sun-Earth by stacking books ). In 2003, another study from Berkeley found we produced 5 exabytes ( How Much Information 2003 ? ), so we are producing more and more digital contents ( photos, emails, surveillance cams .... ), and duplicating it, so much what we can wonder if we will be able to store everything.... But do we need to store everything ? And storage are increasing.. probably not as fast as the data production. And if you add on the top of that the format problem and support problem. Will we be able to read document in word'97 in 100 years, will we be able to read a CDR in 100 years ? Here's few number to get an idea: 2 Megabytes: A high-resolution photograph. 5 Megabytes: The complete works of Shakespeare. 1 Gigabyte: a pickup truck filled with books. 20 Gigabytes: A good collection of the w...

Cubicle work

Cubicle Like Dilbert , I work in a cubicle, invented by R.Propst in 1968. First the system, was created/designed simply to increase the productivity of the worker, partition were mainly there to insure privacy and places to pin-up the current work... The system evolved driven by economics to pack more and more people in a given space. ( see Article in Fortunes about the fate of the cubicle ). Instead of being a Dilbert, I would probably prefer to be a Gaston Lagaffe .... -sic- Anyway I work in a cubicle, to produce (at the end of the day) some funny features people will only see with a microscope, and use intensively to build bomb, cars... to play Rayman and to download some pornography.
