"Although computer memory is no longer expensive, there's always a finite size buffer somewhere. When a big piece of news arrives, everybody sends a message to everybody else, and the buffer fills"

- Benoit Mandelbrot

About this Quote

This quote by Benoit Mandelbrot is referring to the principle of computer system memory and how it is no longer expensive. He is recommending that despite the fact that computer memory is no longer costly, there is still a limited size buffer someplace. This buffer is used to store data and info, and when a big piece of news arrives, everybody sends out a message to everyone else, which triggers the buffer to fill up. This quote is emphasizing the significance of computer system memory and how it can be quickly filled when a large quantity of information is sent. It is likewise highlighting the value of handling computer system memory and making sure that it is not overfilled. This quote is a pointer that although computer memory is no longer costly, it is still essential to handle it correctly in order to guarantee that it is not overfilled.
