Zettabyte Era is appraching. It is estimated that we will reach Zettabyte era in the last quarter of 2015.

CISCO has published a very interesting infographic on this.

Few highlights…

2011: By the end of the year there will be more networked devices than people on earth.
2011: Digital screen surface area will reach 1 square foot per capita.
2015: There will be twice as many networked devices as people on earth.

Here is the Inforgraphic to visualize.

Keeping One TB portable device in pocket is not a big deal today. Storage devices industry is growing in a rapid manner.

However, sometimes we can visualize the facts by comparison; especially a  pictorial explanation. We definitely need a lot more  more floppy disks to meet 8GB

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’

‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’

A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether “computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay-check on accessories for it.

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem;
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

Are you aware of the fact that there are only three countries in the world that are yet to adopt/follow SI Metric System as their primary or sole system of measurement.

The International System of Units is the modern form of the metric system and is generally a system of units of measurement devised around seven base units and the convenience of the number ten. (Wiki)

It is the world’s most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science.

Myanmar (Burma), Liberia, and the United States of America are the three countries not following SI system.

I am surprised to see why USA is yet to adopt the international standard!!!
