You missed the point. In every information age, from the stone age down to the computer age man has always stored and preserved VALUABLE INFORMATION.

Just the way there were worthless information then, most of those worthless information did not get preserved in private collections, libraries and museums (the data centres for past centuries), mostly valuable information.

In the computer age tons of valuable and invaluable information can be found on the internet, the invaluable may be more cause everybody now owns a page, blog, account or website and any information can be posted without verification, hence we are both in the age of useful information and FAKE NEWS. infact of data stored on the internet in data centres, the vast quantity of big data has no value unless it is tagged or analyzed. So, the question is how much data is that?
According to IDC’s Digital Universe Study from 2012, only 0.5% of data is analyzed (what happened to the 99.5% of data collected that year?), while the percentage of tagged data is a bit higher at 3%. By further researching these data analytics statistics we discovered that not all data has the potential to bring value.

According to big data statistics from IDC, in 2012 only 22% ( what happened to the remaining 78% of data of that year?) of all the data had the potential for analysis. This includes data from different fields such as surveillance, entertainment and social media, etc. The same source said that by 2020, the percentage of useful data, i.e., the information that has the potential for analysis, would jump to 37% (what happens to to remaining of 63% of data of last year?).

In the future we expect higher percentages of data to be analyzed (that is sorting out which is useful and which is junk) and tagged (that is sorting the information into different categories that can easily be accessible).

And yes Facebook makes money through target ads based on our preferences. But you may be making a mistake if you assumed our information in 150 years when we are dead will be a useful tool for the living population on earth or Mars when Facebook or any other social network giant present then wants to sell target ads to its online users.

It's like saying tech companies should look at the stored information in the library, museums or private collections of the 20th century downwards inorder to source target ads for us on social media today. Taste and preferences changes with time, so it may be slightly useful or totally useless,the world a 150 years from now will be totally different from ours. Either scenario from a business perspective it wont make sense storing that much data INTO THE FUTURE if it wont translate to huge profits, so why huge data centres will continue to be built to meet FUTURE NEEDS of those alive then, those of the dead will slowly be deleted according to their usefulness.

Thanks for mocking me in your comment, goodluck.

It requires huge data centres to store online information, including that of nairaland. Hard copy documents is the cheapest way to store information for long term. In the next 150 years most of our content available now that arent relevant in the future would have been deleted. No body is going to pay billions of dollars to build extensive data centres to store worthless comments on the internet.

You are very wrong. Most muslims are not Arabs to begin with. The Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) has around 600 million muslims combined and they are not Arabs nor do they have any relationship with Arabs.
Infact they are more than both Arab muslims and christians combined.

Indonesia is the largest muslim country in the world and they are not arabs. Their culture is even closer to chinese culture than Arabic culture.

Even in the middle east, there are over 100 millions muslims who are persian, Kurdish and Turkish and are not Arabs in any way.

What about Central Asia and the Caucus where you Azeris, Tajiks, Turkmens, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Chechens etc who are muslims and have no relationship whatsoever with Arabs? What about Eastern European muslims like Bosnians? Albanians?

Infact, Arabs are not up to half of the muslim population worldwide. They should be around 30%.

Emir is not traditional but religious. It means the ruler in a Muslim community. It came into being after the Mohammedan jihad and creation of caliphates.
