Cisco predicts (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13613536) The number of internet connected devices is set to explode in the next four years to over 15 billion, forecast that by 2015 internet traffic will reach 966 exabytes a year.
they said that the exabyte is equal to one quintillion bytes.
and searching how much quintillion is, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers) it is either 10^18 in U.S. and modern British or 10^30 in continental Europe, archaic British, and India. so what quintillion to choose from, but i guess it is 10^18.
very huge web traffic in the near future.
