Indeed, as the above calculation indicates, to take full advantage of the memory space available, the ultimate laptop must turn all its matter into energy.

Last time I checked, the digital universe was expanding at the rate of five trillion bits per second in storage and two trillion transistors per second on the processing side.

The more storage you have, the more stuff you accumulate.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

What I care about is maximum information.

The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.

Information imposes certain criteria on how it can be stored.

Anyone with a little computer experience knows that anything can be copied bit by bit with the right equipment.

A worldwide web of electronic connections now moves data at ever-increasing speed and volume along what we call the information superhighway.
