The amount of information that can be stored by the ultimate laptop, 10 to the 31st bits, is much higher than the 10 to the 10th bits stored on current laptops. Seth Lloyd
There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important. Seth Lloyd
We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that things are so entirely out of control. Seth Lloyd
What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process. Seth Lloyd
