NSA $2 billion Utah-based facility can process yottabytes of information

The National Security Agency is gearing up to spy on American using 'dumb' home appliances i.e. refrigerators, ovens and lighting systems which are connected to the Internet.

In fact the NSA is  already building a gigantic supercomputer to process a gigantic amount of information. It's a $2 billion Utah-based facility that can process yottabytes of data, according to the Gizmondo innovation blog.

As of 2011, no storage system has achieved one zettabyte of information. The combined space of all computer hard drives in the world does not amount to even one yottabyte, however was estimated at in broad outline 160 exabytes in 2006. As of 2009, the entire Internet was estimated to contain close to 500 exabytes.When used with byte multiples, the SI prefix indicates a power of 1000:

"It will deep down monitor everything phone calls, text messages, emails, parking tickets, public records, employment, taxes, power usage, utility records, bank accounts", says Jill Dyson of Charlotte, N.C. the author of various classified reports on the NSA for the Occupy Charlotte Movement.

Data center

"This is more than just a data center," an official source close to the project told the online magazine Wired.com. The source says the center will as a matter of fact focus on deciphering the accumulated data, in essence code-breaking. This means not only exposing Facebook activities or Wikipedia requests, nevertheless compromising "the invisible" Internet, or the "deepnet." Legal and business deals, financial transactions, password-protected files and inter-governmental communications will all become vulnerable.

"It is the then generation of domestic spying", says Paul Queen of Charlotte. "Once communication data is stored, data-mining can begin. In other words when control will happen", he said.

"Everybody is a target; everybody with communication is a target," remarks another source close to the Utah project.

"Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies just as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters - all connected to the straightway-generation Internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing," Petraeus explained. "The latter now going to cloud computing, in many areas greater and greater supercomputing, and, ultimately, heading to quantum computing."
