The average American sucks down 34 gigabytes of data per day, half of that from video games, says a study by two researchers at the University of California in San Diego. That's enough to fill 7 DVD discs. Every day.After video games, the next highest data volume is TV and movies. Computer data makes up one quarter of one percent, because most of it is text, which hardly takes up any data at all. All told, Americans consumed 3.6 zettabytes of information in 2008, and that despite the use of advanced compression algorithms to shrink down our media.
