One Terabyte of Porn

A recent conversation with a friend of mine who lives in the UK.

Friend: Congratulate me Boss, for I have just used up all 1 terabyte of Hard Disk Space for porn.

Me: ...

Me: Well done... I can't think of a better use of Hard Disk Space and your UK broadband line.

For those of you who don't know, 1 terabyte = 1,024 GB.

Now lets put things into perspective.

1 terabyte = 1,024 GB = 1,048,576 MB

Assuming a good quality movie is 700MB for one and a half hours.

(1,048,576/700) = 1,498 movies.

Since each movie is one and a half hours, 1,498 movies is 2,247 hours.

So if you were going to watch one terabyte of porn... it would take you 93 days (3 months) non-stop assuming you don't eat, shit, sleep or do anything other than watch porn!

I bet the visionary who invented the Hard Drive said decades ago
"Hard Disks in the future will be used to store all sorts of important information from financial records, to research material to historical archives".

And I bet today if he finds out where the bulk of Hard Disk Space is going, he'll be thinking
"CRAP! How the hell did I NOT see that coming?"

Disclaimer: If you live in Malaysia... please DON'T TRY TO BEAT THAT RECORD... partly because PORN IS ILLEGAL in Malaysia... but also because our lines are slow enough after the earthquake... so please don't slow them down even more with your torrents!!!!

Have mercy on the people that depend on the internet to make a living (like Stewie).
