how much new information is created each year?

"How big is five exabytes?
If digitized, the nineteen million books
and other print collections
in the Library of Congress
would contain about ten terabytes of information;
five exabytes of information is equivalent
in size to the information contained
in half a million new libraries
the size of the Library of Congress print collections."
