You can keep everything you ever write
The whole work of Shakespeare is about MB. For an impossible upper bound of hand-typing:
| 100 | words per minute |
| 5 | characters per word |
| 60 | minuter per hour |
| 24 | hours per day |
| 365 | days per year |
| 50 | years |
| 16 | bits per character (utf-8) |
| 210240000000 | bits |
| 210.24 | GB |
Maybe more realistic:
| 15 | words per minute |
| 5 | characters per word |
| 60 | minuter per hour |
| 4 | hours per day |
| 250 | days per year |
| 20 | years |
| 16 | bits per character (utf-8) |
| 96000000 | bits |
| 96 | MB |
With compression or structural sharing, I’d be lucky to get 10MB of ideas down in my lifetime.
