Published by PennyStocks, the real-time infographic displays the activity occurring on the popular sites such as Google, Linkedin, Twitter, Amazon, Skype, Google, Tumblr, Netflix, and Reddit, from the moment the page is opened. For example, 21,097,222,360 e-mails were sent within the first five minutes, meanwhile, 393,080 iOS and 766,320 Android apps were downloaded.
The Internet in real time is a horrifying thing. It is a clear reminder that we’re a species bordering on over population. Within the 600 seconds or five minutes that the infograph remained open in my browser, approximately 13,973,306 GB of data were transferred over the Internet
The site also depicts the monetary transactions with their accompanying figures: In the same five minutes, 31,620 items amounting to $1,462,580 were purchased on Amazon. Users accrued $993,240 from ad revenue on Google while 2,856,960 searches were made. Just read this figure aloud and let it sink in for moment, “two million, eight hundred fifty-six thousand, nine hundred sixty” searches in only five minutes! Wow!
Similarly, the infograph also indicates that 1240 video hours were uploaded on YouTube and a collective 239,320 hours of video were watched on Netflix. Users will also find the number of SnapChat messages viewed, Facebook posts and likes, Wordpess blog posts, tweets, Tumblr posts, and more. The colossal number of users simultaneously surfing the Internet is staggering for lack of a better term, and to think, the mammoth network supporting these is stable more or less. For better or for worse, the Internet has established itself amongst as primary source of entertainment, communication, shopping, and revenue.
