The numbers
By 2020, there will be 30 billion
connected devices on earth
It’s not the number of smartphones and
tablets and wearable technologies that’s
alarming, it’s the sheer volume of data
generated by these devices. Machines
communicating with people—and
other machines—are creating so much
information that, according to one study,
we will have generated more information
in the past two years than in the previous
5,000 years of human history.
