"In even more alarming statistics quoted by the panel, every second, 640 Terrabits of data are traveling through the internet and that number is doubling and quadrupling every year, so even if engineers were able to sustain Moore’s law, it wouldn’t really matter because it can’t keep up with those advancements. In three years, the amount of video will be 16 times as much as we’re viewing now. Not even close to something we’re capable of sustaining.

Moral of the story? We’ve got a lot of data and a lot of people depending on researchers to find a solution to a looming problem that could really impact manufacturing and health. The good news is that panels like this bring the discussion in to the light. The bad news? It might already be too late."
