Zettabyte

Ever heard of a zettabyte?

Probably not, but experts now predict that global internet traffic is likely to pass the zettabyte threshold by next year.

It will explode to 1.4 zettabytes a year by 2017, the equivalent of watching one billion DVDs per day every day for a year.

One zettabyte is one sextillion bytes - which is the digit one, with 21 noughts after it:

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
