re: How much does the world’s data “weigh”? (NSFW)

The bandwidth feeding the clouds are insane, too. I'm a telecom guy and when I first got in the business 2.5gb was the "backbone" bandwidth....a single fiber dedicated to carrying 2.5gb.
Now?
There are systems being used that can transfer rates upward of 8 terabits per second on that same fiber. Density is the name of the game. Clients are purchasing 100gb dedicated lines. Network capacities are already working in petabytes per second. All this progress happened in about 20-25 years.
The data field, be it transmission, storage, manipulation, routing, or cloud applications, is something to behold...as are ancillary functions like security and machine learning (learning from the data in the cloud).
