An Internet minute

Every day, millions of people take photos, make videos and send texts. Across the globe, businesses collect data on consumer preferences, purchases and trends. We are increasingly being surrounded by new devices and sensors that empower us to measure and record the world around us with increasing precision. The abilities provided by these technologies affect us deeply and broadly, including in the way we communicate and socialize. The more we can connect and share, the more data we create. The deluge of data is growing fast. The total amount of data in the world was 4.4 zettabytes in 2013. This is set to rise steeply to 44 zettabytes by 2020. To put that in perspective, one zettabyte is equivalent to 44 trillion gigabytes. 
This is what happens in one minute on the Internet in 2019:
1 million people logging in on Facebook.
18.1 million texts sent.
4.5 million videos are being viewed on YouTube.
