How much does the Internet weigh? Various calculations have been performed to answer this very question, but two of the most prevalent answers are the equivalent of a strawberry, and the equivalent of a grain of salt.

Robert Krulwich really breaks it down in an excellent article he wrote on NPR in December of 2011. Basically, there are a number of conclusions one could come to as to the actual weight of the Internet, but it's an ever-changing figure.

Despite what the actual answer may be at any given time, and that it is ultimately of little significance (for now, at least; try back in a trillion years or so), the fact that the Internet actually weighs anything at all is still a fascinating thing to consider!
