Physicists from the University of Frankfurt (Germany) have concluded that the ability of the human brain to process and record information is the main limiting factor in the growth of the amount of data that is stored on the Internet, and not the cost of the data production, nor hardware. As they conclude in the journal European Physical Journal B ( EPJ B ), the amount of information archived cannot grow faster than the capacity of the human brain to assimilate, process and handle it. In other words, the neurophysiological processes that affect us when managing information are those that determine the growth limit of the data (texts, images, videos …) stored on a global scale in the network of networks.
