What is the total number of bytes on the internet?

Answer 1

Finding the answer to this question is improbable. The internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It's not like there's some huge hard drive somewhere holding all of the internet's information. It's a network of smaller networks that is constantly expanding and contracting. Example: Let's say there's exactly 1YB (yottabyte) worth of information on the internet right now. That would make it about 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes. Then, let's say this post that I'm submitting is about 40KB (kilobyte). That means I just added 40,960 bytes to the internet. Now the internet has 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,747,136 bytes. That's just from this one post. Simply put, if somebody could find out the correct answer to this question, the answer would be wrong by the time they submitted the post. In fact, they'd probably be way off.
