Internet in One Minute - Intel Perspective

Every day, billions of people around the world heavily rely on the internet for varied reasons: connect, share, email, watch, learn, search, chat, etc. From ordinary consumers at home to the government offices, schools, hotels, restaurants, banks, hospitals, publishing agencies and other private companies as well as business establishments, there is always an increasing demand for world wide web connectivity. With such demand billions of intelligent connected systems that make up the internet are also demanding for higher bandwidth to be able to cope up with this ever growing need.

With this billions (and counting) internet users, I can stand on the fact that there are also billions of things happening around the web but the question is “What exactly is happening?” Luckily, I found an answer that comes from a professional perspective through this interesting video which was published by Intel just a month ago. It highlights some significant activities that people used to do when they go online and start engaging and interacting with the rest of the world!

According to Intel, the things that are happening around the internet each minute include:

• 30 hours of videos posted in YouTube;
• 100,000 tweets;
• 6,000,000 page views on Facebook;
• 20,000,000 photo views on Flickr;
• 47,000 app downloads on iTunes and
• 45 new malicious websites launched

All the sites and services (except the last one) mentioned above didn't exist until 2004. The global traffic during that minute would fill up to 230, 000 DVDs and the amount of data stored would exceed 18,000 HD movies!
