Share:

Considering how much time we spend on it, it’s kind of funny that we’ve never really thought about how much the Internet weighs before. If pressed, we probably would have guessed it was a trick question, and that it’s weightless. Surprisingly, the answer isn’t nothing; the electrons powering things have a cumulative mass of about 50 grams — or the weight of a strawberry. If you include personal computers instead of just servers, it’s about three times that amount. Confused? Click through to watch Michael from Vsauce explain it.
