Can someone explain the holographic theory of the universe to me in an easy to understand manner?

I really can't quite grasp the concept from what I've read on Wiki, and I've yet to find an explanation that "clicks."

Intuitively, you would expect the amount of information you can store in a ball of space to be proportional to the volume of that ball. But it isn't; it's actually proportional to the surface area of the ball.

There's an associated sci-fi concept, which claims all the information contained in a ball actually *is* stored on the surface. This is not scientifically meaningful, so don't worry about not being able to grasp it.
