I’m curious about a theoretical tech question:
If someone wanted to download and store the entire internet (websites, videos, images, databases, archives, etc.), how much storage space would actually be needed today?
Would it be measured in petabytes, exabytes, or even more? Also, how much of the internet is publicly accessible vs hidden/private data?
I’d love to hear realistic estimates, technical explanations, or interesting comparisons from people who know about large-scale data storage and internet infrastructure.
