Hi guys,

I have been searching for hours for a quote from a study that I read recently, about how people in there daily lives see and hear x amount of terabytes of data from the moment they wake to when they sleep.

Does anyone else know where this is from, and help me by pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks

Rich

Sounds like crap.

I intially thought it was from one of BT's people

"Peter Cochrane, Head of BT’s Advanced Applications and Technologies back in the 90s, announced through the press that an entire lifetime’s experiences could be captured and stored in about 10 terabytes of memory"

slightly different quote I guess

Sounds like crap.

Not really, assuming they're considering it as full video and audio that you experience at whatever absurdly high "resolution" and "fidelity" the eyes and ears sense things at.

Exactly - and I am not meaning everything you choose - for example books / magazines / TV that you watch, I am meaning everything that happens throughout the day, signs, overheard conversations etc.

Thanks for your help people
