Where would computers be without sound? Sound also requires a lot of space, but like with images, we can compress those images. We're actually so used to the compression methods that we don't even question the .mp3 extension anymore!
All of this helps us see how incredibly important it is to have talented computer scientists. As data continues to consume more and more space, it's going to be evermore important to store and transmit it efficiently.
For now, we can focus on manipulating the bits that we have. Let's take out a piece of paper, and see where we stand.
