If You Printed the Entire Internet

Chuck Norris could do it in 15 minutes ...

I am suddenly reminded of the TV commercial a few years ago where the fellow sighed and declared to his wife..."I've finished the Internet." Funny!!!

Of course, they meant to say "the Web", not "the Internet" - right??

Well, if you started back in 1800BC, you'd have a few thousand years to perfect a super-fast printing system before there was any actual Internet to print out... :-P
And what consequence would it have if you had been able to begin printing at the same time as the first pages started to show up? How long would you be able to keep up?

I don't like it. How were these figures calculated? They seem pretty arbitrary.
How does the internet compare to my local library?

Fifty percent of the book would be filled wirh just OMG, LOL, and WTF?

I'd probably just read the pornagraphic & technology sections and just skim through the rest.

Who says you have to print the entire thing out before you begin reading? Start printing now and read as the pages come out!!

Wonder how that was calculated? And did they take in to account new material added while you're reading thereby extending your read time?

There's a reason why it's called the paperless age.

The Web! the great communicator: Mankind, telling the corporatists' and communists' secrets - even the Russians from the former U.S.S.R. have a say, tell it like it was, like it is! I say: American Holocaust - 45 thousand a year, dead due to poor health care! How many were Jews? is Weisenthal counting? Why not! This is genetic cleansing at its best! Complete with insurance companies acting as the "Selectors' by thier draconian policies! No insurance? To the Death Chambers, worse, die in the streets! Happening in America Today, St. Obalma will pale! The right wing writes the "selection manuals" for the Military, deciding on certain death for some,! it happens again in America! The final purification of the breed! The final solution, operating in America! are we so innocent? I think not! Frightened to speak out, but not innocent! Don't print this, take it to heart!

I'm sure things are being added to the Internet faster than people can read it, by far. This doesn't take into account how fast different people read either. But it's still pretty cool, if it's an estimate.

How long would it take all the printers in the world to print it?
