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.

Oops, actually I mistook exa- for yota-. 10^24 is obviously waay beyond reach haha.

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.

Yeah, I was just thinking about it and I estimated in my head the web would hold one yotabyte by 2030-2040, and something like 1,000 yotabytes by the turn of the century. I said beyond reach for personal computers mostly, since miniaturization should end before 2050. Maybe we could have a supercooled hard disk using a quantum processor and a highly redundant algorythm to store like a bit every thousand atoms, but that'd still be in the zetta- scale. 

Anyways we're kinda going off-topic here haha. Why don't we talk about the assassination market you can find going by the link the OP posted? Hey, that's kinda cool.

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.


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

I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the odds of getting such a virus would be more likely on a deepweb site than a normal one.

1000 yottabytes will probably be called 1 xonabyte or 1 heliobyte according to this site: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_prefix_comes_after_yottabyte

just tried it, mostly one page websites that doesn't have anything interesting on it a bit like facebook but with less images and more text



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Actually it says "hellabyte" on the link you gave... which does sound pretty awesome.

They should save heliobyte for when we get to *10^57 as it's a good estimate for the number of atoms in the sun.

I'm prettysure it's possible... but whether it can be done without alerting you will depend on the webcam (I think most have a little light to tell you when they are running... if the light is hardwired to come on with the camera then you can tell if you are being filmed)

Personally my webcam is sitting in a drawer, as my lappie doesn't have an integrated one, so i'm safe

I have. A lot of child porn, drugs and hit men for hire. You won't find secret alien top government Illuminati documents so don't get your hopes up people.
