463,000,000,000,000,000,000

For comparison, the more familiar Gigabyte is followed by 9 zeroes. 

The electronics industry has fueled this data consumption through developments in technology like smartphones and the ever-increasing and connected world of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. But data is more than a byproduct of technology; data and the platforms generating it are the backbones of today’s manufacturing and supply chain businesses.
