It is impossible to conjure an accurate number. However, an assumption was made with the Digital Universe Study found in the related link, stating there were an estimated 1.8 Billion Terabytes in existence.

What was the memory capacity of first generation of computer?
On word oriented machines it varied from 1000 words to 32000 words (roughly 12000 bytes to 192000 bytes).On character oriented machines it varied from 20000 characters to 80000 characters (roughly 20000 bytes to 80000 bytes).A few machines were smaller than this, a few were larger. Also if the customer was willing to pay enough, the manufacturer could usually customize things for him.
How many characters can an average floppy disk hold?
A standard floppy disk (those still found today) is 1.44MB in size. There's 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. If the size was exact usable space, it would be 1.44 * 1024 * 1024, which is 1509949 bytes. Since it's not the usable size, the USABLE size of a floppy is 1440 * 1024, or 1474560 bytes. Each ASCII character is one byte, so a floppy can hold many characters.
What are the current measurements of capacity in a computer?
Computer storage is usually measured in bytes. A byte is equal to 8 bits. A bit is a single piece of binary information (a 1 or a 0).For example, if you have 16 ones and zeros of information, then that is 16 bits, or 2 bytes.1,000 bytes is called a kilobyte; 1,000,000 bytes is called a megabyte, and 1,000,000,000 bytes is called a gigabyte. Today's computers store many billions of bytes, so these days you'll see a computer storage capacity measured in GB (gigabytes). For example, I have a computer at home with 500 GBs of storage. Therefore, it holds 5,000,000,000 bytes.However, it gets confusing when the number of bytes in a kilobyte, or megabyte, etc. is calculated using powers of 2, which is historically how it has been done. Things like kilobyte, megabyte, etc. needed to be expressed as a multiple of 2. Therefore, a kilobyte, instead of being strictly 1,000, is 2^10 = 1,024 bytes. A megabyte is 2^20 = 1,048,576 bytes. Therefore, let's say you have a disk that can hold 450,000,000 bytes. Using the binary definition of megabyte, that is 429.15 MB, and not 450 MB. This has led to consumer confusion, when someone buys a computer that claims 750 MB but Windows reports 715.256 MB.
There is kilo mega giga and tera bits and bytes of memory what is the largest measurement available today?
Tera Bytes are the largest unit of measurement.
How many characters are in 6 bits?
Theoretically, 64. However, it is rare that 6 bit character sets would be used. Bytes are 8 bit and is the most popular form of information interchange today.
Does u.s.s.r still exists today?
no
Do soldiers really exist until today?
Of course, soldiers really do exists until today. If they don't exists then the World will not be protected.
