To: Meet the New Boss

The important thing is that it is 2 terabytes. The content does not matter.

This reminds me of an old WSJ article that I read a bit over 30 years ago that was written when people were just starting to use PCs with then massive 10 mmegabyte hard drives. One of the parties to a law suit was a union official whose computer had been subpoenaed and the contents of his hard drive were printed out, adding up to about 34,000 pages. Now, just imagine what a tetarabyte of text must print out to. It would probably equal the contents of the Vatican Library.

The universe is so utterly vast that there simply MUST be other life out there … we just have not discovered it.

2 Terabytes is so utterly large that there simply MUST be evidence in there … we just have not discovered it.
