How much data per year?
An interesting piece in the Guardian today… which answers the question: How much digital data is being produced worldwide per year?
The answer may surprise you. It did me!
A 2000+ year old computer
It is with regret that MMISoftware announces it will not be supporting a recently announced Greek computer. This is mainly because the computer is over 2000 years old.
A truly fascinating story in the Guardian Newspaper (UK). It appears that a mix of cogs and wheels found in a Roman shipwreck is an ancient Greek computer capable of predicting the position of the sun, several heavenly bodies and the phases of the moon, basically an astronomical calendar. Incredible.
