Peeking Into Google

From the article:

To deal with the more than 10 billion Web pages and tens of terabytes of information on Google's servers, the company combines cheap machines with plenty of redundancy, Hoelzle said. Its commodity servers cost around $1,000 apiece, and Google's architecture places them into interconnected nodes.

When human beings start creating "human-like intelligence" inside of computers, it is likely that a system like Google's will house the first incarnations. Google shows that we can store unimaginable amounts of data in a relatively inexpensive system. Then, over time, these systems will get smaller and smaller until they fit into a package that consumes about two liters of space.
