Amount of stored digital content reaches 487 billion gigabytes:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/may/18/digital-content-expansion/print

That's 475 million terabytes
or 453 exabytes

It would take 30 million years to download all of that over a T1 line

just in case you were wondering :-)

I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy
itself." (Isaac Asimov, from his autobiography I Asimov)
