Today, October 29th, is Internet Day! In recognition of this celebration, I thought I’d share a few Internet facts:
- As of October 2018, there are more than 1.9 billion websites on the Internet.
- 95 million photos are uploaded onto Instagram every day.
- Over 78% of North Americans use the Internet.
- Combined, there are 4.9 million apps in Google Play and the Apple App Store.
- The Internet sends approximately 204 million emails per minute and 70% of all the emails sent are spam.
- A single Google query uses 1,000 computers in 0.2 seconds to retrieve an answer.
Please note: these “facts” were gathered by surfing the Internet. I did not verify the validity of every fact but most of these facts were found on multiple websites.
