Total Amount of Data in Existance

[cracked]

This question is probably impossible to answer but is there a site anywhere or anything that has a rough estamate of the total bytes of data in existance, like in all computers, calculators, digital microwaves, everything?

just being curious

Cr/-\c|<e|)

[ocit]

now theres something to ponder. i have no idea but my guess would be in the petabytes . interesting byte hierarchy . imagine 20 - 30 years down the road we are disputing on the size of our physical memory in exabytes

[JacobM5727]

seems like there would be alot..
i contribute like 6gigs though

Oops ... forgot about my calculator with 64k

[Mntsnow]

ND, I hate to say it but I dont see where you counted my networks capacity either so I think you better revisit your count and verify it again

[SickPup404]

Two possible answers:

1) 42 (as bolded above by ND)
2) Impossible to answer because as soon as you've answered it, youve' created another piece of data that you didn't count.

[Kuasimodem]

Kind of a catch 22, huh?

[storm2k]

i agree, the answer is 42.

[ocit]

im going for 43 , 43 what you say? well thats a mystery ... to me. wait i just emptied my recycle bin. im going with 42 now.
