Unless the 1.6petabytes is all photos you have ever taken of people and all the photos and videos everyone has ever taken of you and all your family, I hope there's a way for a person to wrap their mind around having 1.6petabits. maybe it's a big text file that draws your name from random text characters to the order of 1.6petabits. it could be mostly just zeros.
