There are some pretty good examples on Wikipedia under petabytes and exa bytes.

Avatar took up a petabyte of server storage space.

Google processes 24 petabytes of information per day.

On a single day, June 15, 2009, it is estimated 494 exabytes were transferred around the world.

Next comes zettabytes. By the end of 2010 the world will be producing 1 zettabyte of info a year.

Yes, yes, I want a 15 zettabyte drive for my computer!

I'm sure a 15 ZB drive will come.. probably in about 40 years for $100, at a rough guesstimate. And it STILL won't be enough space :)
