1986: Pocket calculators provided much of the world's data processing power
and digital information accounted for less than 1% of all of the information stored.

2007: Digital information accounted for greater than 93% of all stored information,
and for the first time, more digital information was being created than could be stored.

2011: Digital growth is accelerating, accompanied by problems of storage media decay,
format obsolescence, and reduced access to information due to inferior quality metadata.

To preserve, access and manage your information, you need a data management plan,
accurate metadata, and an appropriate set of data management and access tools.
