Each and every minute of the day, vast amounts of data is generated from ordinary activities: from online shopping to phone calls, bog-standard Web browsing and accessing social media outlets.
Perhaps a more daunting figure: we spend more than $1 million in online stores every five minutes. Who said we were in back a recession?
In that same amount of time, brands are propped up by close to a quarter-million 'likes' on Facebook, and more than a billion emails are exchanged.
The stats are baffling, and downright crazy. Here are the numbers you need to know.
- Email users send more than 204 million messages;
- Mobile Web receives 217 new users;
- Google receives over 2 million search queries;
- YouTube users upload 48 hours of new video;
- Facebook users share 684,000 bits of content;
- Twitter users send more than 100,000 tweets;
- Consumers spend $272,000 on Web shopping;
- Apple receives around 47,000 application downloads;
- Brands receive more than 34,000 Facebook 'likes';
- Tumblr blog owners publish 27,000 new posts;
- Instagram users share 3,600 new photos;
- Flickr users, on the other hand, add 3,125 new photos;
- Foursquare users perform 2,000 check-ins;
- WordPress users publish close to 350 new blog posts.
