According to FactsHunt.com…

Coming to the Size of the Internet, its 'Huge'. As of 31st December 2013, the size of data available on the net has grown exponentially from 1993. Some say the size of the Internet seems to have crossed

"The total number of words spoken by entire human race so far!"

which is stored in a text format. (.txt extension). While many others still lost in their thoughts of estimating the true size. So, let us see how BIG is the Internet?

14.3 Trillion - Webpages, live on the Internet.48 Billion - Webpages indexed by Google.Inc.14 Billion - Webpages indexed by Microsoft's Bing.672 Exabytes - 672,000,000,000 Gigabytes (GB) of accessible data.43,639 Petabytes - Total World-wide Internet Traffic in the year 2013.Over 900,000 Servers - Owned by Google.Inc, the Largest in the world.Over 1 Yotta-byte - Total data stored on the Internet (Includes almost everything).

1 Yotta-byte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes!

Even by under-estimation, the total data stored on the Internet including Images, Videos, Audio etc.. has crossed 1 Yotta-byte. The true size of the Internet will never be known!

“Recent research shows 23 percent of parents with children under five say that their children use the Internet. Of those plugged-in toddlers, 82 percent reportedly go online once a week.*These surprising figures come from a report

by the Sesame Workshop's Joan Ganz Cooney Center, a nonprofit organization focused on the advancement of children's literacy through new technologies. “

“So what are these tech-savvy tikes doing online? According to the Cooney Center's report, 60 percent of children younger than three are watching videos, and 30 percent are using video chat.”
