0:46: 100ZB for an ADSL speed of 20Mb/s = 1.2 billion years
0:54: DVD of 1.2mm and 8.5GB, approximately 10^13 DVD for 100ZB or 12 million km

2:56: ~10µm core containing ~1GB: 10^15GB/m^3. SD card of ~100mm^3 containing 1TB: 10^10GB/m^3
6:35: Capsule of ~100mm^3 and compactness 1PB/mm^3 (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/s...) ~ 100PB. Disk of 1TB and 100cm^3: compactness ratio of 10^8
6:39: For 100-1000 ZB, need 1000-100000 capsules of 100mm^3 each containing 10-100PB, i.e. a volume of 100-10000cm^3 ~ shoebox
