We analyze and use only 0.5% of the data that we create Today Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook hold approximately 1,200 petabytes of information (1.2 million terabytes) billion things There will be 7.6 billion internet users By 2020,“1.7 megabytes of new infor- mation will be created every second for every human being on the planet” By 2020, our digital universe will grow from 4.4 zettabytes today to around 44 zettabytes (That’s 44 trillion gigabytes!) 25 1 zettabyte is 10^21 or 10,000,000,0 00,000,000, 000,000 bytes By 2020 1 million GB = 1 petabyte = 13 years of HD TV consumed (24/7) IoT - Gartner predicts that 25 billion things will be connected to the internet by 2020 If our digital universe roughly holds 4.4 Zettabytes of information, and we are only analyzing 0.5% of the data that we create, we are led to question the intrinsic value of the information we are creating. Russel Lincoln Ackoffs Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) pyramid relates the different types of infor- mation and their function. The IoT revolution will collect large amounts of raw data. But will we able to translate this data into more meaningful information?

Every second, we Google 40,000 search queries. That amounts to 3.5 billion searches per day and 1.2 trillion searches per year. 1 day In Aug 2015, 1 billion users were recorded using Facebook in a single day 1 year In 2015, 1 trillion photos will be taken and billions will be uploaded to the internet. 5 yrs. By 2020, the total amount of smart phone users will amount to 6.1 billion globally 1 min. Every minute we upload 300 hours of video to YouTube Wisdom- When information is put into action giving us insight to the “long-term consequences of any act” Knowledge- Information put into practice. Information- Organizes raw data into coherent patterns; can be likened to alphabet letters composed into a sentence. Data- The elemental construction of information; can be likened to alphabet letters randomly stringed together. Information Overload in the Information Age HOW MUCH DATA ARE WE TECHNOLOGY NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR PLANET We are in the midst of the Information Age. With more people connecting to the internet than ever before, we are collectively creating and uploading more content online. Are you feeling the information overload? Each Second, Each Hour, Each Year CREATING?
