Eli Pariser Quotes

There were 5 Exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days.

Every day, three times per second, we produce the equivalent of the amount of data that the Library of Congress has in its entire print collection, right? But most of it is like cat videos on YouTube or 13-year-olds exchanging text messages about the next Twilight movie.

We are drowning in information.

Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003.

Last time I checked, the digital universe was expanding at the rate of five trillion bits per second in storage and two trillion transistors per second on the processing side.

Search as a paradigm will continue to be probably even increasingly important because the information that's out there is only going to grow exponentially - and the only way to sort through all that is by some form of search.

With faster Internet and better computers, you'd better believe we're creating and consuming more digital data.

We're not in an information age anymore. We're in the information management age.

.. the amount of sensitive information held within the national security apparatus is immensely larger than it was a generation ago. Technological change has caused an explosion in the rate of information production within government agencies, as everywhere else.

The number of queries in a large dataset is exponential, and it's growing exponentially. No matter how fast you make your system, you're never going to be able to get all that information.

We really are living in an age of information overload. Google estimates that there are 300 exabytes (300 followed by 18 zeros) of human-made information in the world today.

We are effectively living in a world of communications and information abundance.

Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.

People are saying, 'Big Data is the new oil.'

Sometimes I think that our culture lives in its soundbites.

Information has become the fundamental element of modern life.

Data is fungible. You can make as many copies of it as you want.

All of these technologies that we are putting together... our memory technology, our CPU, our graphics architecture, our GPUs - all that is being applied to where the data is. You can almost predict where Intel will be in the future. It will be where data resides.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.
