Basically the title. The fact that we can read an encyclopedia entry on the economic history of the Netherlands from our phone is crazy. Scrolling over to a random island in the middle of the Atlantic to experience a virtual street tour is insane. There are even websites that let you see live security camera footage (shoutout to EarthCamTV). We have so much information that we take for granted.
you can download updated Wikipedia archives and use the app kiwix to read themon your phone, so that you can have nearly all of human knowledge with reference pictures available offline on your phone.
it's insane.
I used it for years until I regrettably got this pixel piece of shit with non-expandable storage.
My next phone will have expandable storage and offline Wikipedia on it again.
How big is all of (english) wikipedia? I really have no gauge on this. Couple of terabytes? Petabytes??
It depends.

From 19GB to multiple terabytes.
