HOW MUCH DATA EXISTS ONLINE

https://andygreenhaw.wordpress.com/tag/how-much-data-exists-online/

My Topic:
The regulations on the information in Internet are necessary.

What I hope to learn from this source:
I had the related resource before but I find out that the source was too old one. I found the recent one to emphasize the how the internet is big and how much information is in the world. 

Notes: 

1. New data suggests that 1.2 Zettabytes (1.3 trillion gigabytes) is now stored in cyberspace – which amounts to 339 miles of fully-loaded iPads stacked to the sky.
2. The International Data Corporation estimates that by 2020, business transactions on the Internet will reach 450 billion per day.
3.
 
16 gigabytes : one fully loaded Ipad
 1 terabytes : 62.5 fully loaded Ipads
1 petabytes : 62,500 fully loaded ipads
(placed flat on each other the stack would be twice the height of the Empire state building, and almost as tall as the worlds tallest building )
Burj Dubai - 828m > Ipad(petabyte) - 794m > Taipei - 509m
1.2 Zettabytes : 75 billion fully loaded Ipads

Final Thoughts:

This source would help me emphasize the amount of the size of the information in the internet.

Week 2 objective

Topic :  Is it right to have an "Information Regulation' on 

the Internet?


What is my current topic?
As we entered the digital society, excessive information is on the internet. It seems to be good that we have so much information to use and we can also express our information on their way, but in some case, existence of too much information can have a bad influence to the citizens. Therefore, it is important to deal with the problem of 'Information Regulation', in today's society.


What are my guiding questions?
What kind of information can affect in a bad way?
What are the pros and cons of 'Information Regulation'?


What are my current thoughts?
My opinion of this topic is that there should be regulations on information. Despite the 
importance of the liberty in the democratic society, some information should be regulated.


What is the opposition?
Opponents would say that the regulation on the information in Internet is the violation of liberty of the citizens. They will also complain that they can't express their own feelings and information freely.
