The Internet generates a mind-boggling amount of data

So much data!

This animated GIF is just a repeating snippet. Just click on the animated image and watch for a minute to see just how much data is accumulated on the Internet. Multiply that times 60 minutes, then multiply that by 24 hours, then multiply that by 365 days–the number of Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, YouTube video hours, iTunes app downloads, Amazon purchases and more is simply mind-boggling.

Tony Bradley: I have a passion for technology and gadgets--with a focus on Microsoft and security--and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 4 dogs, 7 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either.
