The weight of all the information on the internet...
Shouldn't it be in the tons category?

Because when you think about it the only way to put "weight" on it is to make it a real thing...
So you'd have ALOT of photos, and alot of pieces of paper with data...then you'd have alot of discs for movies.

It's not ment to be written in piece of papers and stuff like that, it's ment digitally.. Internet is so big so somehow we could compare it to the real weight, i am not professional but i can understand it somehow but hardly to explain it..

Dude wasn't attacking you, was just stating the fact that whoever wrote that bit, might be losing it.

Because data is a weightless thing it's almost as good as being "imaginary"
