This would imply something like 4k x 4k pixels, lots of detail and a low compression factor. I would guess the normal porn image is way below this. (The message does not require THAT good an image to convey). I do have some map scans that go to 150MB, but they are exceptions. Audio is from 120 k/minute (phone grade) to 40 m/minute(5.1 high resulution). Broadcase audio is normally around 200-300 kbit/second, or 1.5 - 2 megabyte/minute. Video is another matter. Plain SD compressed is 4G/hour. HD can go to 15. 1k to 40, 4k to 100G/hour. That can make a significant dent in storage. Half of all pictures have been taken the last 2 years. Half of all video (in terms of resolution) has been taken the last 18 months. So we are at doubling rates of ~20 months. Which the bandwith growth figures of the Internet seem to bear out; at ~44% yearly growth. The copper links to homes and small offices are saturated. But bring in fiber, and you can double every 20 months for nearly a century. The national backbones (from US to smaller nations like NO/SE) can still increase traffic by around 100 times without laying much new fiber; and by another 5-10 with embryoninc technology seeing the light of day right now. (like 500G colours). -- mrr
