Technology

The amount of digital data stored appears to be growing approximately exponentially, reminiscent of Moore's law. As such, Kryder's law prescribes that the amount of storage space available appears to be growing approximately exponentially. The world's technological capacity to store information grew from 2.6 exabytes in 1986 to 15.8 EB in 1993; over 54.5 EB in 2000; and to 295 EB in 2007. This is the journalistjunction informational equivalent to less than one 730-megabyte CD-ROM per person in 1986 ; roughly four CD-ROM per person in 1993; twelve CD-ROM per person in the year 2000; and almost sixty-one CD-ROM per person in 2007. It is estimated that the world's capacity to store information has reached 5 zettabytes in 2014, the informational equivalent of 4,500 stacks of printed books from the earth to the sun. Overview Of Early DevelopmentsEdit Human's technological ascent began in earnest in what is known as the Neolithic Period ("New Stone Age").

Overview Of Early DevelopmentsEdit Man's technological ascent began in earnest in what is known as the Neolithic period ("New stone age"). The invention of polished stone axes was a major advance because it allowed forest clearance on a large scale to create farms. Addition
