information pollution is when businesses run out of physical space to store digital information, and it starts affecting the economy, environment and well being of human kind i just made this up, or maybe it's already a concept, i dunno well maybe this is will never happen since storage technologies keep advancing and getting smaller and we'll never need so much information on record to fill up the earth anyway but imagine if it did and the disastrous implications it would cause. corporations would fight over physical space because all that information matters a ton to stay competitive. wars could start and eventually humans would have to rethink how to be more civilized so it doesn't happen again

Information pollution (also referred to as "info pollution") is the contamination of information supply with irrelevant, redundant, unsolicited and low-value information. The spread of useless and undesirable information can have a detrimental effect on human activities. It is considered one of the adverse effects of the information revolution. it already exists, and it is 90% of the internet today. prime examples are twitter, facebook, and worst of all YOSPOS

most of the 'low value' information is going to be gold in 20 years like, do you know how much of random people's thoughts from even like the 70s survive until today? future historians will be able to tell exactly when a specific meme or cultural trend started

Aleksei Vasiliev posted:how is information being created if theres no storage exactly that's what kind of got me too. maybe it means the information could be created, but there's not enough storage it's from this dumb article about a scientist figuring out the mysteries of copying over the human brain, which is a bad idea since the human brain mostly consists of irrational nonsense and robots of the future will see it as a waste of space and destroy it fake edit: actually i just skimmed that article and it's about something else i think, but it's still dumb ffffffffppppp-p-p-p-p-p ~*fartz*~ because most of the internet is porn iirc here's the brain one http://www.industrytap.com/knowledge-doubling-every-12-months-soon-to-be-every-12-hours/3950

op u used a terrible word "pollution" for your concept overcorwding perhaps anyway its not an issue. the issue will more likely come when we run out of poo poo to make harddrives with, not run out of harddrive s plus whats worth keeping? some bbc nature documentaries? hello.jpg? the worlds most valuable information could probably be contained within a decent NAS what amazing to me is how much data storage the NSA must have

in the past banks etc. had to devote entire storeys of office buildings to storing punched cards, until IBM finally made a computer that could use magnetic tape (there was a UNIVAC and a couple other brands but nobody wanted to buy them because they weren't IBM)
