What happens to all the digital files out there and do we just keep making more storage?

399 views

I just uploaded a file on a ‘gig’ website for some help in cleaning up some audio from an interview that I did. The amount of data on those servers has to be overwhelming and that got me thinking… do we just keep making more storage? Where does all of that data go and do we just plan on storing that stuff indefinitely?

Yep, we do.

Storage is actually pretty cheap. When people design databases, basically the least important question is “how are we going to get enough disk space to store this information?”

Well, storage is cheap, not free. As long as we keep paying for it, then yeah.
