The team at Mozy posted a new infographic that shows how our modern digital storage (on laptops, iPods, et cetera) compares to last century’s media: VHS tapes, 8-track tape and more. You can find it on their blog. And while you’re there, their “how much is a petabyte” infographic is also worth looking at. Some highlights from both:
- Worldwide datacenters use as much energy as the entire country of Sweden
- A petabyte equals 20 million filing cabinets full of text
- To tape an hour’s worth of YouTube uploads, you’d need 343 VHS tapes
- If you’d print every photo uploaded to Flickr in an hour, you’d need 384 typical photo albums to store them in
