How much of the data do you think is collected, kept, and used long term? i.e. what proportion and amount

(I realize this might be a better question for privacy, but I managed to get myself banned for flaming some piracy folks)

Remember me? No one after a full generation turns over. My name is on reports and records and patents that will last until the collapse of the US and probably longer, so my name will be found occasionally. But no reason to remember it specifically from among the other 8.2 billion people alive at the same time.

As for how much data will be collected and saved. I wouldn't count on anything lasting for long that doesn't have a specific retention policy.
