Default Re: Did you know?

I know that, in the small company I work for, we've exceeded 8 terabytes of data (1 terabyte=50,000 trees made into paper) in less than 1 year.

I know that Shanghai, China is now the largest city in the world in population, 19.4 million & growing (city pop. only - does not include external urban areas).

I know that China has 48 cities with populations over 1 million (2002). The U.S. has 9.

I know that, according to futurist Ray Kurzweil, the human race will merge with nanotechnology by the year 2040 in what he calls The Singularity.

Fascinating video, FP!
