I am still not sure that you know what you are up against. If you can type 50 words a minute then assuming 7-letter words you can write about half a million characters in a 24-hour day day.
A processor with 4 cores and a clock speed of 2 GHz can cope with nearly 700,000,000,000,000 characters a day or over a billion people like you.
If you're not as fast as a professional typist or you need to sleep then you can start multiplying that billion by numbers greater than one.
OK, I know there is more to the problem than CPU speed but it does provide a starting point. If presented in a way a computer could understand one could read every work written since the beginning of time in less time then it took you to read this sentence!
A really fast computer has a speed measured in "Peta FLOPS" which, simplifying and without going into detail, is over a million times faster.
