Infographic: 60 Seconds On The Web
In 1998, there were 26 million indexed pages on the World Wide Web. Fast forward 10 years and there are over 1 trillion unique indexed pages on Google. It is obvious that the internet is growing at a rapid pace. Every hour, there is enough information consumed by internet traffic to fill 7 million DVD’s. Cisco, which releases a Visual Networking Index forecast about the scale of web traffic every year, estimates that by 2015, 966 exabytes (For those wondering what an exabyte is, it’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes) of information will be consumed annually by the internet – an increase of 200 exabytes over the estimate for 2014, which is itself more than the amount of all 2010 information consumption online.

Needless to say, this is not a post about how humongous the World Wide Web is but I couldn’t help sharing some of that fascinating information with you. The real purpose is to show this neat little infographic that was done by Shanghai Web Designers. It illustrates what just happened in the last 60 seconds. And in case you were wondering, over 13,000 iPhone Apps were just downloaded, almost 7,000 pictures were uploaded on Flickr and Google just responded to nearly 700,000 queries.

Why Universities Fail At Teaching Internet Marketing
I recently graduated from university with a masters degree in Information Systems Management.
