500 billion gigabytes (probably more now since this is last year) of data on the web! thats apparently enough books to stack from the earth to pluto 10 times :O

i wonder how many total gigabytes there are on earth :P

tl;dr but do they mean printing the actual content or the code for all the content? I'd assume the former but you can see how it would make a pretty significant difference as I'd presume the code to be longer

Not what I meant but book size paper is far from standardized as well...

yeah thats why i just chose standardized paper :P

i don't know though, i think it would be like text and pictures, but i don't know how videos would work

That's what I mean, if they break it down to 1 and 0 then I wonder how far it would stretch (presuming they didn't for this article)
