I for one welcome our new digital overlords.

I would like to go on record as saying that Baraq O. Bama is the most awesome president in the history of this country. And I might add that all of my gunz were lost in the boating accident and I was so sad that I swore then and there to never own any ever again. There.
Yeah, but it's a worldwide phenomenon if you use modern communications. The article states that the information will be collected "from all over the world." We just live in the heart of the beast.
So there’s no moral difference between what a person does and what the govt is doing?
I for one welcome our new digital overlords.
Any chance for $2 Billion we might:
See an unedited copy of the dark lord’s birth certificate.
Know who issued the stand down order in Benghazi.
Identify and remove all known communists in government.
What really happened at Roswell.
What the dems had on the GOP to prevent them from removing BC after his impeachment.
What Sandy Berger stole and why he got a pass.
Who killed Vince Foster.
The real cause of Arkanside.
And most importantly, find the one, often claimed, but never found, peaceful Muslim.
Snort!
Series though, what is a trillion times a trillion?
Is there even a number for that?
A Google?
Hardly, it would be a mere pittance, or .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of a google.
The facility will hold 1-followed-by-24-zeros bytes; a google would be 1-followed-by-100-zeros bytes;
“...will make a map of who you associate with.”
And if you keep to yourself and don’t associate with people then you’ll be profiled as a dangerous loner psycho.
True, but it will have access to Google’s data.
“anonymous”, WikiLeaks, Stuxnet, Chinese cyber-spies, hackers... come on down! /sarc.
10^24 bytes is called a Yottabyte.
Having come from a healthcare organization that had over 2 exabytes of data stored on their SAN, this is mindboggling.
· 1 Bit = Binary Digit
· 8 Bits = 1 Byte · 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte = 103
· 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte = 106
· 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte = 109
· 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte = 1012
· 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte = 1015
· 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte = 1018
· 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte = 1021
· 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Yottabyte = 1024
· 1000 Yottabyte = 1 Brontobyte = 1028
A trillion terrabites is 109 * 1012
or 1021 or about a Zettabyte.
A google = 10100 so we are well short.
“Is there even a number for that?”
Yes: Whatabyte!
