Hi. Have you ever thought about what happens in a day on the Internet?

The imperative

Let's have a look! (intonation not interrogative, should be inviting: as if saying, Come right

in!) In a day, zero point six-six exobytes of data

are sent over the Internet. Is that a little or a lot? ha! That's enough to fill 168 million

DVDs. Over 294 billion emails are sent each day.

That would be enough to keep the U.S. postal service busy for about two years.

More than two million blog updates are posted every day.

That's enough to fill Time magazine for the next 770 years.

Every day, social networks reach 270 million people. That's almost as many people as live

in the whole U.S. Worldwide, people spend a total of 4.7 billion

minutes on Facebook every day, where they post 532 million status updates,

click "like" 2.7 billion times and upload 250 million photos. If you printed

all these photos and piled them up, they'd reach as high as 80 Eiffel Towers.

In just one day, YouTube users upload 86,400 hours of video and watch 4 billion clips.

Each day, 18.5 million hours of music are streamed on Pandora.

If you started that stream on your computer in the year 1 AD, it'd still be streaming

now. The Internet gets 1,300 new mobile apps every

day. And there are more iPhones sold in a day than

babies born. So there you have it, one day in the Internet.
