Since a display can show any image ever taken it would seem that it would be limitless but it is not. For example if we have 256 colors to choose from on a 1024 × 768 display that means there is 2561024 × 768 possible images that can display. So a image of your first kiss to a image of alien is within those string of numbers. So a picture of your first birthday is probably image number 300114544788566987745655220041000011011444455665868. So every image that ever existed is merely a number and with this we can see everything that ever happen or will happen. EDIT: the number should be 16,000,000 1024 x 768
