This is really nonsensical. It could fit on a piece of paper in font size 8 if you go back far enough and “stretch” the definition of Internet.

Not true. The first document on the internet was, in fact, 7 pages in 8pt font.

It was the New Purchase brochure from a Packard Bell 286 4MHz from Circuit City transcribed into .doc format.

Yeah, but if you wrote really small on a note card you could have used the entire internet on a test!

Anyone remember that offline Wikipedia reader that had the whole text of English wiki on it? I always thought it was neat.

You can still download an archive of Wikipedia today, and it’s smaller than you’d expect
