"Why is it scientists always use weird units? I have absolutely no clue of what "the implicit information storage that corresponds to all of the hard disks made in the world this year, multiplied by the number of years the universe has been around" actually represents in bytes."
Lets see.....
Universe age 11,200,000,000 x 30,000,000 hard drives = 336,000,000,000,000,000
336,000,000,000,000,000/8 = 42,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
so thats 42 Exabytes
THAT'S ALL!? Man...................
