> Every day, humans are producing more data than ever before - around 90% of the world’s data was generated in the past two years alone - and there will come a point when our data storage centres and the cloud can no longer keep up.

Is this true? Can anyone point to a some kind of study showing convergence of storage capacity and data production over time? I was under the impression that we've got far more storage than we'll need, at least in the near future.



Given that we can today fit tens of TB in a fistful of SD-cards (512GB per card), no I don't think it's true at all that we'd get to a point where our data storage can't hold up. Our ability to filter and identify gems outside of the most popular stuff is a far greater challenge.
