One of the most amazing things about my position here at AndroidSPIN (other than all of you wonderful folks, of course) is trolling the Internet in search of news that I feel should be shared with our readers. Sometimes, when things get a little slow on the Android front, we like to take a few minutes to step outside of the box and find interesting articles for you to read, even if they’re a bit off topic.

I just stumbled across a post in my Google+ stream that led me to an article and a partnering infographic that I figured you might like to check out for yourself. This really gives you a sense of just how big the web is, and what goes on every second of every day.It’s pretty insane to think that there are over a half-million search queries or 98,000 tweets, but if there’s any truth to the infographic, that’s what we’re looking at.

If those numbers aren’t impressive enough, how about the 168 MILLION emails that are sent. Every. Minute. Of. Every. Day. That’s a ton of email, eh? But wait, there’s more — have a look at the second image below:

How’s that for statistics? It’s kinda funny to see the Amazon Kindle Fire selling at 18 units per minute, and11 million instant messenger conversations in progress during the same period. One thing about this that leaves me scratching my head, though — what exactly do they consider “E-waste” and how is there 38 tons of it being generated every 60 seconds? Spooky stuff, man!

Thanks to Liza Sperling for her share of this infographic on Google+. For more info, check out the source link below.

About the Author

Tony Simons

Android addict would be the two words I would use to describe myself. It’s the first thing I check in the morning, and the last thing I check before bed. I’m 30 years old, my first Android phone was the G1, shortly after its launch. I have also owned a myTouch 3G, and I have a myTouch 4G, which I am absolutely in love with. Other than Android, I’m a father, brother, college student, and almost-full-time employee at a local brewery/restaurant here in the cornfields of Iowa. If there’s anything you’d like to know, please feel free to hit me up. I’m a pretty nice guy, and I respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping by!
