I’ve been going through one of those patches of life where there’s not enough time to do all you want to do. The internet makes matters worse – and better. I don’t know about you but I find Wikipedia is getting more and more of my attention these days and I even amend/correct/add to articles. Personally I think it’s a fantastic resource that reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation library.

 

Can you imagine what the world’s going to be like when the whole of Wikipedia’s information can be stored on a single USB drive?

 

Well you know what? It probably already can!

 

As of August 2007 the whole of Wikipedia was estimated at 7.5Gb so if it’s gone up 10 times since then (which is a pure guess) then you need a 75Gb USB drive. There are already 64Gb drives available from Amazon so in fact we are already in this position, especially if you allow a bit of data compression.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if USB capacity tracked the size of Wikipedia’s growth for a while.
