How Big is Data? Real-World Comparisons (Byte-Zettabyte)

Описание: Today we are making some real-world comparisons to give some perspective on how big data really is. A lot of people have very abstract, unclear perceptions of what a megabyte or terabyte of data really is. Here is a chart of comparisons from small to large:

1 Byte of data 1 grain of rice
1 Kilobyte 1 cup of rice
1 Megabyte 8 bags of rice
1 Gigabyte 3 container lories
1 Terabyte 2 container ships
1 Petabyte Covers the island of Manhattan
1 Exabyte Covers the UK 3 times
1 Zettabyte Fills the Pacific ocean

When you begin to think about how much data you are holding in the palm of your hand with the latest, greatest iPhone, it becomes astonishing. A 512GB phone equates to over 1,500 container lories.
