The deep Web contains 7,500 terabytes of information compared to 19 terabytes of information in the surface Web.

The deep Web contains nearly 550 billion individual documents compared to the 1 billion of the surface Web.

Wut?

Pretty sure there is a shit-ton more than 19 terabytes of information on on "the surface web". Hell even 7,500 sounds really low... I reckon there is probably more than 7,500 terabytes of info even if you take out video data.

Also if "individual documents" means files (as in .htm web pages or whatever) then 1 billion is another ridiculous lowball.

wiki says:

"Estimates based on extrapolations from a study done at University of California, Berkeley in the year 2001,[3] speculate that the deep Web consists of about 91,000 terabytes"

so in 2001, when internet was still a joke compared to nowadays, the deep web had 91k terabytes

Yeah. The web as a whole is probably in the high yotabytes by now.

Anyways I just checked a  file with gateways for some deep web sites with illegal stuff  (dozens of gateways for each) and most of them end with .to, .ro, .kr, .ru and .ca. Mmm... Russia and Korea? Not sure about the others.

Dunno about that... a yottabyte is huge.

Actually, here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte

"As of 2009, the entire World Wide Web was estimated to contain close to 500 exabytes.[7] This is a half zettabyte."

So if that's true the current WWW is probably around a zettabyte.

Fuck man, I've heard enough and I have NO interest in this shit. Thanks though, I've learned something new here today.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

The scary thing is, if you've gone on the deepweb, there's a possibility of a virus being installed on your computer that lets a hacker see what your webcam sees, effectively spying on you. Scary stuff.

Well given the rate the web of information is increasing, and assuming it is currently around 1 zettabyte (ie 1/1000th of the way)... I don't think it will be that long, maybe only 20-30 years or so. Hell it's about time they created some new ones, apparently zetta and yotta were introduced in 1991: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix#List_of_prefixes

I think we need one beginning with W... we could call it weta, then maybe a couple of hundred years from now people will be downloading from wetabit internet connections while they have weetabix for breakfast.

That you can catch a trojan can happen anywhere on the Internet. The possibility always exists.
