With the intense frequency data is multiplying (e.g. by constant cloud backup in large companies, social media messages,..), is the cloud ever going to reach a limit?
I don't understand how the world can keep handling exabytes of information being backed up/created.
n.b.: the 'cloud' is to be referred to as the collective storage space of all servers in the world.
A few considerations:
Political:
- We don't want to keep polluting the world by using up the earth's resources.
Scientific:
- We will reach a thermodynamic limit for processing units. According to the article, that will be in 30-40 years. What then? We will resort to memcapacitor and meminductor? Other means?

You can't run out of space for files because new space can be made.
