Source Linux Journal November 2007 Issue 163. Back issues excluding the current month are available for view online at www.linuxjournal.com. The journal each month for a long time has a regular column titled "LJ Index". It's typically a stream of about 20 statistics somehow connected...maybe.
The sources listed at the bottom include a whitepaper which is actually cited from an emc website along with a web ticker estimating total data created and replicated to date this year. See Expanding the Digital Universe. Guess I'll go read that white paper sometime.

It's been a long time since I updated. I usually update once a year, but I
missed the mark. I figured I should update before everything goes to zero....

I meant to put in the title Zettabyte since after Terabyte comes a Petabyte then Exabyte then Zettabyte then Yottabyte. BTW, how does one edit an entry that one has posted?
It looks like you got it figured out, since "Zettabyte" is in the title now?
Yes. After a delay a pencil appears in the lower right hand corner of any post you posted. Presumably the administrator has pencils on all posts.
I get pencils on posts, trash cans on comments, and tools on page template widgets. If only everything in life had tiny icons that I could click and with which I could administer things!
