When will the internet run out of space?

Answer 1

The current specification for IP addresses: (255.255.255.255)
IPv4 uses 32-bit (four-byte) addresses, which limits the address space to 4294967296 (232) possible unique addresses

The new specification for IP addresses: (3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf)
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about 3.4×1038) addresses.

So the internet will run out of space when our current specification limit is reached (pending switch to the new spec)

Answer 2

All Im going to say about this is that the internet is not something that has a specific amount of storage space. The internet is made up of thousands and thousands of servers that have hard drives like a normal computer the only difference is that you can view the files on that server(computer) through a web browser, so really the internet is just growing and growing, because people and companies buy servers all the time, once there online the space in that server(computer) is use-able.

I really hoped that helped, and that i explained it good or alright.

Answer 3

It Is possible to run out of storage, but all our information is stored on servers, and when a server is nearing full the host of the website/server, can buy a bigger storage drive, or they can buy another server to start filling. for example, when you download a file off this internet, your not actually downloading it from the web. your downloading it from a computer/server that has the file on it. and if you upload a picture to Facebook, it will get stored on a Facebook Server. if Facebook were to start running out of space, they could buy a new server and gain more!
