There was a time it would’ve fit on a floppy
This is really nonsensical. It could fit on a piece of paper in font size 8 if you go back far enough and “stretch” the definition of Internet.
Not true. The first document on the internet was, in fact, 7 pages in 8pt font.
It was the New Purchase brochure from a Packard Bell 286 4MHz from Circuit City transcribed into .doc format.
Yeah, but if you wrote really small on a note card you could have used the entire internet on a test!
And were all 7 of those pages uploaded at the same time? Ha, gotchu now! (But for real, is .doc that old?)
According to wikipedia, “Microsoft has used the extension since 1983.”
Ha! So not as old as me
Lol, no idea
First spam
“Congratulations on buying a Packard Bell computer. Would you like to register me?”
Welcome to Packard Bell Navigator!
[ ] YES

This is actually exactly why I love the internet
Anyone remember that offline Wikipedia reader that had the whole text of English wiki on it? I always thought it was neat.
You can still download an archive of Wikipedia today, and it’s smaller than you’d expect
How big do I expect it to be?
Bigger than it actually is
Q.E.D.
At least twelve megabytes. Probably even more.
I downloaded one recently for when I was going to be offline for a whole week. It worked amazingly well!
No, but i do remember Microsoft Encarta 98

There also was a time when the entirety of the human language would fit in this thread.
grunts approval
grunts dismissive mocking
grunts don’t make me turn this mammoth around
grunts gotta go potty
Grunt grunt, grunt /s
We have a great great great great … grandfather that was a single cell.
Your ellipsis is too long. It’s like dot dot dot …. it just keeps going on and on and on
The power of the sun in the palm of my hand.
The power of Sun Microsystems in the palm of my hand
Unix noises
Wait, what does that sound like?
drinks a cup of Java
The unmatched power of the sun, even?
Back in like 2005 or 2006, I remember posting an article to Fark about a company that wanted to make a laptop that had the entire internet cached on it so you could browse the web offline. That was almost 20 years ago and I remember saying “they have seriously underestimated the amount of porn on the internet.”

Instructions unclear, universe exploded my phone when I tried to fit it inside
Now that’s gonna be one spicy pillow
What if I don’t believe it?
If your lack of belief in it changed the actual reality of things, I’m pretty sure that’d make you God.
And just like that, God existed
Not necessarily. All we know is that everything seemed to come from a single point, on a cosmic scale. However, at that scale, our entire galaxy would be considered a single point.
What we do know is that everything is expanding, and that it was homogeneous by the point that it cooled enough to cease being a plasma (and so opaque to light). It could have been a vast area that suddenly spawned matter/energy, rather than a single point.
The entirety of the internet on my toilet.
I remember, towards the end of the last millennium, marveling with some friends about an article estimating the current size of all the data on the internet. IIRC, it was in the neighborhood of a couple hundred terabytes. Wouldn’t fit on your phone, but there’s plenty of data hoarder types who have that kinda storage on the server in their spare room.

And they still recommended two 256mb sticks instead of one 512…
There is a time where the entire universe could of fit in the volume of your phone.
One single html page? I guess, yes.
It’s one html page Michael. How big could it be? 10 gigabytes?
There may be a time in the future when the entire internet as it is now could fit on whatever people have instead of cell phones in a few hundred years.
And when that future comes, Apple will still manage to fill 50% of your space up with god-knows-what.
Doubtful. Corporations seem to have a lifespan of 150 to 200 years at most. IBM may manage to break the 150 mark, but they are already losing market share. The cracks are showing in Apple only a decade after Steve Jobs died. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple, Google, and Meta are all gone before they hit the 100 year mark, the latter two may not make it to 50
Knocking on wood that we don’t nuke, fry or pollute ourselves out of the race until then.
I wonder when smartphones with a capacity of 40 zettabytes will officially come out. Then we can post this all over again.
The internet or the world wide web?
Well both technically, but at different times
I’m not so sure a single phone could have handled the internet even in infancy. You’d need at least 2. :p
Run a VM in the phone that connects to the host over an OTG cable. Boom, internet
At least 2 phones? Could be 1 phone with a big SD card then…?
But how much stuff do you think was on the nascient www? There’s periods where it was literally a few dozen megabytes. Even when usenet was pretty active it wasn’t much space in the scheme of things, we had servers storing everything in some few gigabytes of storage.
It was a joke about needing to create a network, which requires at least 2 devices talking to each other.
But he was talking about storage
