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.
