I keep seeing posts on here like 'wow I never knew how much info there isn't on the internet' or 'it's scary how much of our information isn't digitized' and a) you're probably wrong about that first part and b) with 'on the internet', they mean 'accessible via google/bing/duckduckgo' and I need people to understand that when information professionals talk about 'the internet' being humanities most ambitious data sharing project or how much scientific info there is to be found 'on the internet', we are talking about the other 80%ish of it. The vast majority of information on the internet will not be found by google because it's in unindexed, specialized, often not freely accessible databases.
