YOTTABYTE ME!
1 terabyte equals about 213, 4.7GB dvds. 213 dvds is approximately 30cm in length if stacked one on top of the other. to equal 1 yottabyte (1000 terabytes = 1 petabyte; 1000 petabytes = 1 exabyte; 1000 exabytes = 1 zettabyte; 1000 zettabytes = 1 yottabyte) would mean 213 trillion dvds or a distance of 300 million kilometers, the distance to the sun and back!
(213 trillion is about the number of cells in 2 human bodies. that being the case, each cell would store about 4.7GB of information or about 1500 pictures, most of these being taken up by the golgi apparatus)

All That Is Around You
You and all that is around you is the result of everything that went before.
Yours now is not to question how you arrived or why you are here
but to recognize injustice and cruelty wherever and whenever they occur
and to change the world for the better by lessening their occurrence.
One must have a passion for sweets and raw potatoes
and avoid eating broken glass and rusty nails.
