How much stuff is on the internet?
"Consider the sum total of data held by all the big online storage and service companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook.
Estimates are that the big four store at least 1,200 petabytes (whatever that is) between them. That is 1.2 million terabytes (one terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes). And that figure excludes other big providers like Dropbox, Barracuda and SugarSync, to say nothing of massive servers in industry and academia." -- Science Focus. https://www.sciencefocus.com/future-technology/how-much-data-is-on-the-internet/
Does that make you itty bitty wit-oh head spin?
Well, consider that every single byte of it is forever traveling in radio waves through space at the speed of light to signal the entire universe of our precise location for total annihilation. No muss, no fuss, just "bye". Mm-hmm. I know. Like sure, so what? Who cares?
I agree. I just like to look at the pictures, wherever those are.

Re: How much stuff is on the internet?
Depending on their biological make-up, assuming they are comprised of material similar to humans, a potential giant tsunami of cacophonic radio waves could destroy them completely and we wouldn't even be aware of it.
Any thoughts? Or have you already succumbed to the problem yourself.

Wow. That number sounds like it's even bigger than our debt.
