The topic itself and all its iterations could arguably be the reigning theme of our time. It is a dizzying exponential growth in both complexity and content.
In only the last few years, we have gone from kilobytes stored on floppy disks to megabytes stored on CD-ROMs. Gigabytes and Terabytes are now stored on our computer hard drives, petabytes and exabytes are stored in disk arrays.

IDC's, “The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe: An Updated Forecast of Worldwide Information Growth Through 2011” highlights findings that are newly updated since IDC’s inaugural forecast of the digital universe was published in March 2007. IDC estimate that the growth of electronic data created and stored by 2011 will reflect a compound annual growth rate of almost 60% from 2006 figures.
Key points highlighted in the research paper:

With a compound annual growth rate of almost 60%, the digital universe is growing faster and is projected to be nearly 1.8 zettabytes (1,800 exabytes) in 2011, a 10-fold increase over the next five years
