Why aren't you brunching?

No, more server capacity will be added.

at work :frown:

so can sever capacity go on for an infinite amount forever and ever and ever?

and how do they do that- how is server space created? is it like a big black hole?

As the price of memory drops and new technologies are found that gives you more storage per gram (if you like), then realistically there is no maximum amount of storage you can get.

To give you a very small idea, this is what server farms look like inside, and this is where all the data you access is actually stored - or hosted as it's called.

When it is full
EITHER

1. It will be the End of the World

OR

2. The aliens will come and save us all.

well hypothetically it should get full one day, saying this only for arguments sake
its like saying parallel lines will meet eventually at point infinity
so one day when infinity is reached it should be full,
or maybe we would plunder this earth of ALL of its resources so one day we wont have any more plastic/metal to make servers
but wouldnt we have started mining for metals etc on the moon or mars by then?
im too sober to go on with this :P
