Traffic and Storage
By 2017 13.8 petabytes of data will cross the Internet every five
minutes. And in just three minutes the amount of data equivalent
to every single movie ever made will cross the Internet.
One estimate puts the size of the WWW at an
EXABYTE
OR
1024
petabytes
1024^2
terabytes
To visualise this: if you
filled a room that was
8’x 10’and 8’high,
you could fit 450 hard
drives in there.
Assuming
you would still need
over 1000 of those
rooms filled to
download the WWW
Which is
1024 zettabytes,
Or 1 trillion tera-
bytes
To put this in simpler terms.
It would take nearly
