SourceThe Internet is spiraling out of control. Yeah, you already knew that. But did you know that 1.4 billion GB of Internet traffic have been used as of 6:30 PM today? (It's April 18, 2014.) Or that by the same time today, over two million tons of carbon dioxide were emitted from using the Internet? There are nearly 3 billion Internet users in the world as of the time this post was published. And we're watching approximately 82,000 YouTube videos and sending 2.4 million e-mails every second. This post is just one of 2,650,500 (so far) blog posts written today.
Crazy, huh?
You can find detailed Internet stats from the day, updating in real time, here, and some visual aids of per-second stats here. There's a couple more mind-blowing pages on that site, and I bet they'll shock you. They certainly shocked me!
You knew this filing cabinet of junk we call the Internet was huge, but did you know just how vast it really is?
