With (millions? billions?) of humans creating content (and metadata?) every day, how does the data storage keep up? Are they adding additional storage every day?
In: Technology
Why do you think Google and Amazon spend *literal* billions of dollars every year building new servers? It isn’t just so they can have more processors working. Servers are also data storage facilities.
The supply is *constantly* growing, and tech companies are always looking for ways to store more data, or to be more efficient with the storage they already use, or to encode or summarize data better so they don’t have to store as much of it.
