Can someone explain how 100,500 words is 34 gigabytes?
From the linked article:
In 2008, Americans consumed information for about 1.3 trillion hours, an average of almost 12 hours per day. Consumption totaled 3.6 zettabytes and 10,845 trillion words, corresponding to 100,500 words and 34 gigabytes for an average person on an average day.
Not a tremendously meaningful statistic, at least for the person consuming it. Depending on the kind of TV you have, you could consume 10X as many bytes watching the same TV show. What does that mean?
(Actually, I think that was just completely wrong... I have no idea how someone could have come up with that number)
