I dunno about most, but let's take something as complex as a modern
(1990's) car for example. From conception to production, the total data
produced ranges between 20-40 terabytes.
In the 2050's, with people working on things like cyberdecks,
cyberware, Banshees and other insanely complex things, the data
handeling requirements are goint to push the limits of human
comprehension. And how many exapulses of RAM does it take to run an AI
on your server?
