How much does the internet weigh?

Depending on who you ask, the internet weights “About two ounces (60 grams), or perhaps 0.2 millionths of an ounce (6
micrograms), depending which method you use to calculate the weight of
the active electrons necessary to sustain the global network.”
Not a whole lot, is it?

Still pretty amazing….
