According to Daily Mail, 50 petabytes include everything that humanity has ever written!
Earlier, one has thought that the brain's capacity was only 0.1 petabyte.
-This is like a bombshell in brain research, says professor Terry Sejnowski and adds that it may help science build even more efficient computers.
