An infographic detailing 60 seconds in the life of the internet has been published by cashback site Qmee, highlighting the sheer volume of content which now floods the web every minute of every day.
The graphic shows, amongst other things, that 216,000 photos have been posted every minute alongside 278,000 tweets and 1.8m Facebook likes and the vital statistics for other services document similarly explosive growth online, with 2m Google searches and 72 hours of video uploaded to YouTube.
In addition around 216,000 photos are shared on Instagram over the time period and £54k of goods are flogged on Amazon.
Not all sites enjoyed exponential increases however with Facebook’s figures dropping from 695,000 updates every minute last year (in separate figures compiled by Go Globe) to just 246,000 this year.
