> - Most data isn't big. I can fit data about every person in the world on a $100 Chromebook. (8 billion people * 8 bits of data = 8GB)

Nitpick but I cannot help myself: 8 bits are not even enough for a unique integer ID per person, that would require 8 bytes per person and then we are at 60GB already.

I agree with pretty much anything else you said, just this stood out as wrong and Duty Calls.
