A Day In The Life Of The Internet [INFOGRAPHIC]

Shea Bennett — Tue, 07 May 2013 06:00:58 +0000

There are close to two and-a-half billion people online around the world – this number has grown a heady 566 percent since the year 2000 – and 70 percent of them use the internet each and every day. As you might imagine, with that kind of presence, which amounts to more than a third of the global population, quite a lot happens over the course of each 24 hours.

You want some examples? You got it. Each day, an average of 139,344 new websites go live. An incredible 144 billion emails are sent and received. 500 million people log into Facebook. Hundreds of millions of tweets* are written and exchanged, and, perhaps most amazingly, 60 hours of new video are uploaded to YouTube every single minute.

The internet: it’s kind of a big deal.

It’s where stuff happens. Lots of stuff. Too much to count, in fact. Even when you break it right down – like, for example, looking at what happens online each and every minute of the day – the numbers are staggering.

Pinterest, Instagram And Twitter – The 5 Biggest Internet Entrepreneurs Of 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]

Shea Bennett — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:23 +0000

Did you know that Twitter founder Jack Dorsey came up with the idea for the micro-blogging social platform by looking to combine the broad reach of dispatch software with the ease (and immediacy) of instant messaging? Dorsey pitched the idea to fellow co-founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, and Twitter was born.

Fast-forward a whisker over six years later, and that moment of inspiration has evolved into a social powerhouse that now boasts more than 200 million active users built on the back of $60 million in venture capital, leading to a company valuation of $11 billion.

The History Of The Internet (1969-2012) [INFOGRAPHIC]

Shea Bennett — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:00:38 +0000

How long have you been using the internet?

If you’re a person of a certain age – that is, depressingly young – it’s highly likely you’ve never known a world without the web. While the origins of the internet can be traced back to 1969, it wasn’t until the 1990s and the launch of the first proper browser that the medium really started to take off, with Yahoo!, Google, e-commerce and the birth of social media each playing a hugely important role en route to the present day, when it’s almost impossible to imagine a life without these tools.

From Friendster To Facebook – Social Media And The Internet 10 Years Later [INFOGRAPHIC]

Shea Bennett — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 08:00:51 +0000

Ten years is long time in anyone’s life, but it’s an eternity on the internet.

Back in 2002, the internet had 569 million users – 9.1 percent of the global population – who spent, on average, just 46 minutes a day online. Today, that figure is up to 2.27 billion, – one in every third person worldwide – spending an average of four hours a day.

And it’s easy to see why: websites in 2002, well, sucked. Relatively there was hardly any of them, and those we used were, looking back, pretty awful. Internet Explorer completely dominated the browser space, and the world of social networking basically came down to a single, innovative platform, Friendster.

How much has changed in ten years?

What If The Internet And Social Media Never Existed? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Shea Bennett — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 06:00:23 +0000

Have you ever imagined what the world would be like without the internet?

And I don’t mean how you would feel if it had suddenly all been completely erased when you woke up. What if it never existed? How different would everything be? Some 2.3 billion people use the internet worldwide, all of whom are connected, and the internet has given us a wealth of information (across some 550 million websites) that has made it the greatest resource mankind has ever known.

So how would life be if it none of this had ever happened?

The Past, Present And Future Of Personal Tech [INFOGRAPHIC]

Shea Bennett — Mon, 07 May 2012 08:00:42 +0000

Did you know that while more than two billion people are privileged enough to live in a location that affords them the technological resources to access the internet, this represents less than a third of the global population?

So what happens when everybody gets online?

It’s a sentiment that hasn’t gone unnoticed. In his 2012 address to the Mobile World Congress, Google’s Eric Schmidt proposed this very notion. “For most people the digital revolution has not arrived yet,” he said. “Every revolution begins with a small group of people. Imagine how much better it would be with another five billion people online.”
