Disappointed at how that "2012" movie turned out. I was yawning after the initial death and destruction. Puke-inducing drama till the end.

What would it take to record your entire life on video?
Assumed Parameters: 80 years (average life span), 1000 kbits/sec (YouTube video datarate), $50.00/TeraByte
80 yrs x 365 days/year x 24 hours/day x 3600 sec/hour = 2,522,880,000 secs/yr
2,522,880,000 secs/80yr x 1000 kbits/sec = 2.5 e+12 kbits for 80 yrs (1 GB = 8,589,934.59 kbits) in GB would be 293,701.89 GB for 80 years totalling about 287 TeraBytes (about 3.6 TB/year)
COST/Yr: at 3.6TB/year x $50/TB = $179/yr
TOTAL STORAGE REQUIRED TO RECORD YOUR ENTIRE LIFE: 287 TeraBytes
TOTAL STORAGE COST TO RECORD YOUR ENTIRE LIFE: $179/yr x 80 years = $14,340
NOTE: This is an approximate value not considering that storage prices would be dramatically lower 80 yrs from today. Probably, to record your entire life 80 years from now would cost less than $1000.

wishing there was a playlist function in YouTube where I could just drag the videos I wanna watch (or listen to). Or is there?

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
