This is a fairly classic infographic that comes up regularly, but it is always nice to have the latest figures up to date.
Even though a minute may seem like an eternity (when you're downloading something, for example), 60 seconds is actually a very short period of time. And a lot can happen in such a short time... especially on the Internet!
18 million people want to know what the weather will be like over this period of time and 3.6 million searches are done using GoogleAt the same time, no less than 103 million spams are sent across the world... which shows that, ultimately, on your scale, you only receive very few!
But ultimately, what's most striking about this Internet minute is the amount of content: 4.1 million videos are watched on YouTube, 69 hours of video are streamed on Netflix, 444 photos are shared on Snapchat and 527 on Instagram... and 760 new songs are added to Spotify.
Between 2000 and 2017, the number of Internet users exploded from 400 million to 3.7 billion... almost half of the world's population... And as this figure is expected to continue to grow, the data generated and exchanged on the web will continue to grow!
