Growth Live In Terabytes
(70 per second):
Size Of The Internet
In Petabytes:
How big is the Internet?
The exact size of the Internet is
very difficult to determine. For
this a Live Counter released
figures large IT sites were used.
Based on the speed with which
the Internet in recent years
grew an extrapolation for the
coming years has been created.
Thus the size of the Internet in
2012 was calculated to be 2800
Zettabytes or 2.8 exabytes.
This number of exabytes are 2.8
billion terabytes. To store this
amount of data you would need
700 million 4TB hard drives.
In 2013 the amount of
information on the Internet was
3.7 Zettabyte. In 2016 the
amount of data passing
through the Internet
grew to about 26,500 gigabytes
per second.
A growth of traffic is forecast
by 20% annually, on the basis
also of the Live-based Counter
below. One reason for this is
that more and more people
have access to the Internet.

It is doubling in size every two years
How much data does the internet
contain?
The size of the Internet doubles
about every 2 years.
For the beginning of 2016, the
Counter expect around 7.7
Zettabyte on to data that is
distributed worldwide Internet
servers are.
In the year 2020, the amount of
data is expected to enlarge to 40
zettabytes.
It is estimated that by then 50
billion devices will be connected
to the Internet.
1 Gigabyte:
An author takes 50 years
for every week a book with
about 190 pages, more
specifically, with 383,561
characters (with spaces
and sentence included)
write. This would be a
billion letters or bytes.
1 Terabyte:
A trillion letters. If they
were written down at a
distance of one
millimeter it would give
the text length one
million kilometers. 25
times around the globe!
1 Petabyte:
The floppy was the
storage medium of the
legendary Commodore
64 in the 1980s.
This disk for this home
computer holds
174,848 Bytes leaves to
be described on two
pages.
If you want 1 Petabyte
storage you could
obtain this by copying
old C64 floppy on this,
so you'd have more
than 90 years 2 disk
change to perform the
over 2.8 billion
diskettes per second
copy.
This would have a
weight of 36,889 tons!
Every 14 seconds, the
Internet increases by
this amount of data!
1 Exabyte:
212 million DVDs
weighing 3,404 tons.
1 Zettabyte:
1,000,000,000,000,000,0
00.000 bytes or
characters. Printed on
graph paper (with one
in letter in each mm2
square) would be a
paper measuring a
billion km².
The entire surface of
the earth (510 million
m²) would be covered
by a layer of paper
almost twice.
1 Yottabyte:
The size of the Internet
in 2030, if the current
growth factor of 40% is
maintained annually.
With this amount of
data one could hold the
lives of all of the people
on Earth from the time
of her birth until her
death on video.
A Yottabyte is
8,000,000,000,000,000,0
00,000,000 bits.
The same number of
water molecules would
yield only 240 grams of
water.
A small glassful!

Worldwide Internet Traffic
In Gigabyte Per Second:
The Deep Web
A large part of the Internet is
hidden, that is, not easily
visible to everyone.
These include, for example, the
server log files, which each
monitor access to the site.
Likewise, the "cloud".
Entrepreneurs as individuals
save more data in it. Although
these are "the Internet",’
but available only with login
information.
