DID YOU KNOW 🤔

If the Internet were weighed, it would weigh about 2 ounces (50 grams). How does one measure the weight of the Internet? Physicist Russel Seitz measured the weight of multiple billions of electrons which make up the data that we send back and forth every day.

Given this information, and the fact that silicon logic runs at approximately 3 volts and a chip runs at a gigahertz, Seitz calculates that the entire weight of the internet is approximately 50 grams, the same as the weight of a large strawberry
