To the people who claim that we’re running out of data, I would just say: the world is largely undigitized. The Internet digitized a bunch of words but not even a tiny fraction of all that humans express every day. Same goes for sound in general. CCTV captures a lot of images, far more than social media, but it is poorly processed and also just a fraction of the photons bouncing off objects on earth. The data part of this equation has room to grow.

"data" in the abstract is not useful, it has to contain useful stuff in it.
