“In 2002, the amount of new information was estimated to double every three years.    Today, it is doubling in size every 18 months. IBM expects that soon the amount of information will be doubling every eleven hours.  47,000 radio stations around the world pump out 70 million hours of original radio programming; 21,000 TV stations create 31 million hours of news, dramas, and reality shows; and printing presses roll out over a million new book titles, 25,000 newspapers, 80,000 trade periodicals and 37,000 academic journals.”
