Issues of Scale - BE
HyperScale
In computing, hyperscale is the ability of an architecture to scale appropriately and quickly in a cost-effective manner as increased demand is added to the system. Hyperscale computing is necessary in order to build a robust and scalable cloud, big data, map reduce, or distributed storage system and is often associated with the infrastructure required to run large distributed sites such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Azure or Amazon AWS.

End of forgetting
Jeffrey Rosen - "The Web means the end of forgetting". In modern society the scale and broadness of the web means the complete forgetting of anything is impossible. Record of every significant or even insignificant event is forever stored even when deleted by its creator. A great example of a place where documentation is vast is the Google owned website Youtube.
