[Hypothetical] The internet is getting shut down for 5 years. You have 100 GB of storage available, you have 24 hours to prepare. What do you download?

Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

  • I disagree there - I think it makes the question pointless as that changes the actual question to "what is the single computing device I decide to keep, after downgrading its storage". Which in many cases will not even be possible.

    • You're overthinking it. It's 100GB that can be saved to, nothing saying that it's 100GB on a single device and you can't pick anything else

      • See other comments from OP where he's stating that it'd be 100GB total, and anything else would be confiscated if found out.

        • I'm interpreting it as him coming up with a way to guard against people saying they'll have 100 copies of 100gb drives with different stuff.

          Just think about what 100gb of data you'd save from the internet, including any you have already downloaded prior. So you can't just be like "I have 5tb of tv shows already so Im good on that front"

          • He stated "100GB only" in reply to my comment that I have a 400GB picture library - all own creation, completely unrelated to anything internet.

            • Okay, just disregard your photos then. It's only a hypothetical focused on what you'd take from the internet.
