"As of 2009 the entire internet was estimated to contain close to 500 exabytes. An exabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one quintillion bytes.
1 ExaByte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes = 1 billion gigabytes."

That would be awesome, but imagine how much they would cost.

Theres still more to come after Peta (1x10^15) = 1 000 000 000 000 000) expect to see these in the future:

Exa (1x10^1 Cool Man (aka Tustin)

= 1 000 000 000 000 000 000
Zetta (1x10^21) = 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
Yotta (1x10^24) = 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000

I have to know up to tera for A-Level Physics but we rarley use that mostly stuff like this e.g. 1 Kilometer is also expressable as 1x10^3 meters.

The combined storage space on every single computer system in the world amounts to less than 1 zettabyte, which 1/1000th of a Yottabyte.

A better "scale" thing is that a GOOGOLPLEX is so big it literally can't fit in the universe if you wrote it down, it's too large. Smile
