currently a lot of storage capacity is occupied by caches and backups. duplicates of the same files. you can archive these files by deleting most copies and storing it safely. it frees up storage capacity used by backups so you can make new content, but at the cost of accessibility to that old stuff. you can also make highly specific encryption for any huge data type. like genomes and blockchains.

we need to do more research on holography and storage so we can design algorithms that can figure out how to store groups of data redundantly in a compact area and can quickly be uncompressed each data fractal should be stored in at least two locations that are far apart from each other. even if one data fractal is damaged, the information can likely be retrieved because of the algorithm of redundancy

the cjs where i work sent out an email a month or two ago saying the mail database files are getting too big and pleaded with everyone to please clean out their inboxes, but they refuse to give a hard limit/quota on how much should be kept in inboxes because im sure that would anger all the middle managers with 50 GB inboxes full of powerpoint attachments

when information pollution is fully polluting the earth, everything will be covered in metal and full of tiny servers. you will walk and drive through these all the time and forests will need to be build on top of them so we can still breath. there's plankton too but the forest will make the air more oxygenated and fresh

h.l. mencken used to get dozens of letters a day from his fans and replied to all of them. usually he'd get them out the same day (used to be standard to have two mail pickups a day). he got a telephone at one point and hated it so much for constantly interrupting him when he was writing that he said he wished that alexander graham bell had been run over by an ice wagon at the age of four
