Moore's Law busted by 57.5 billion iPads full of data

Imagine lining up 57.5 billion Apple iPads to build a wall measuring about 4000 miles long and 60 feet high. To put that into perspective, think of the Great Wall of China cloned and stacked on one top of the other, that's how big we are talking here folks. Now imagine all of those iPads stuffed choc-a-bloc with data. 1.8 zettabytes (or 1 billion terabytes if you prefer) of it to be precise. That, somewhat incredulously, is the amount of data that will be created globally just this year according to the new IDC Digital Universe study 'Extracting Value from Chaos'.
