How much does the Internet weigh?

Measuring the actual physical weight of the Internet is a difficult task due to the fact that the Internet, rather than being a fully tangible thing, is a collection of data and electronic code. However, though data is not necessarily visible to the naked eye if it is not being processed through a computer, it is a physical thing that does have weight, albeit an infinitesimally small weight. In order to determine the weight of the Internet, a researcher may need to define parameters for the experiment, such as the weight of all the data transferred over the Internet over the course of a 24-hour period.
