How much is 0.0000000070 zettabytes?

It's about one-five-hundred-thousandth as much as The Internet
The amount of The Internet is about 0.004 zettabytes.
(2005 figures) (estimated)
Although the Internet is continuously changing, a 2005 estimate by Google CEO Eric Schmidt was that the total amount of data on the Internet would measure about 0.005 zettabytes. An estimated 1 trillion web pages are published on the Internet, excluding photos, videos, and music content.
It's about 1,500,000 times as much as The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
The amount of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is about 0.00000000000000470 zettabytes.
(ASCII, plain text)
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare would occupy about 0.00000000000000470 zettabytes when written in plain text without formatting. These works include 38 definitively-attributed plays — 11 tragedies, 17 comedies, and 10 tragedies — as well as 154 sonnets and numerous other poems.
It's about 3,000,000 times as much as a MP3 Song
The amount of a MP3 Song is about 0.00000000000000300 zettabytes.
(a.k.a. MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, a.k.a. MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3) (128 Kbps, "near-CD-quality"; 3 minutes duration; average)
A three-minute song of typical quality will be about 0.00000000000000300 zettabytes when encoded into MP3 format. The song Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega was used by AT&T-Bell Labs engineer Karlheinz Brandenburg to test the compression process and is considered the first MP3 song.
It's about 5,500,000 times as much as a Digital Photo
The amount of a Digital Photo is about 0.00000000000000130 zettabytes.
(5.3 megapixels, JPEG compression, 100% quality, 24 bits/pixel)
A 5.3-megapixel digital camera photo requires about 0.00000000000000130 zettabytes of storage space. In 2010, it was expected that 90% of all professionally-taken photographs would be digital instead of film.
It's about 5,500,000 times as much as a Floppy Disk (3½-in)
The amount of a Floppy Disk (3½-in) is about 0.0000000000000012490 zettabytes.
(high density, IBM PC format)
Despite common reference to them as "1.44" megabyte (mB) disks, the actual capacity of the most common model of a 3&-in (8.9 cm) floppy disk is 0.0000000000000012490 zettabytes. At the height of their use 1996, there were an estimated five billion disks in use — nearly one for each person on Earth at the time.
It's about 3,500,000,000 times as much as a Page of Text
The amount of a Page of Text is about 0.00000000000000000200 zettabytes.
(50 lines, 50 characters per line, ASCII encoding)
A 50-character-per-line, 50-line page of Latin alphabet text requires 0.00000000000000000210 zettabytes when digitally represented. The Google Books project, which has produced hundreds of millions of pages of digital text, used a robotic device to digitize over eight million titles at a rate of about 1,000 pages per second.
It's about 0.0000000002 times as much as All Spoken Words in Human History (recorded)
The amount of All Spoken Words in Human History (recorded) is about 42 zettabytes.
(2003 figures) (assumes 16 Khz, 16-bit mono recording)
Criticizing a 2002 estimate of 0.0049 zettabytes, linguist and University of Pennsylvania professor Mark Liberman asserted that it would actually require 42 zettabytes to house a recording of all speech in human history, even at a relatively low level of quality. For the purposes of his calculations, Liberman estimated the total duration of such a project to include 416,390,367 years of continuous audio.
It's about 80,000,000,000 times as much as a Magnetic Stripe Card
The amount of a Magnetic Stripe Card is about 0.0000000000000000000900 zettabytes.
(maximum capacity; per ISO 7811 specification)
The storage capacity of a magnetic stripe on a credit or identification card is about 0.0000000000000000001000 zettabytes. According to legend, Forrest Parry, the IBM engineer who developed the first magnetic stripe card in 1960, was able to solve the problem of adhering the strip to the card after his wife suggested using an iron.
