Boom! Content volume explodes again

Yet another example of paradigm-changing ideas that demand more storage 

Robert Scoble is in Davos, Switzerland practicing his novel brand of journalism.  He live streams interviews from his cell phone, while responding to live questions from viewers. 

This caught the BBC’s eye, as I’m sure it has many journalists and media companies.  It’s a totally new take on broadcast journalism that portends dramatic change in that industry.

What does it mean for storage?  Yet another content multiplier driving tons of storage capacity.  Rather than creating one version of news reporting/analysis, interactive interviews like these will create hundreds or thousands of versions of a story or topic. All video, all needed to be archived and distributed.

The petabyte is the new terabyte!
