What Happens on the Internet Every Minute

It's amazing to consider the significance of connectivity, and the internet more broadly, in modern life. 

It's strange to think that only 20 years ago, mobile phones were really just starting to gain momentum - and five years before that, the internet was barely a thing for consumers. Now, almost everything we do is connected to our online personas in some form, with a huge range of our daily interactions taking place in apps, tools and other connected devices, helping to simplify and streamline our lives.

Well, mostly. As we've found more recently, not all of those online interactions are beneficial, and tracking everything may not be exactly what you want.

Here's a quick snapshot of what's happening online, every minute of every day.

And there are some staggering stats in this year's version - for example:

  • Facebook users upload 147,000 photos

  • Twitter gains 319 new users

  • Instagram users post 347,222 Stories

  • YouTube creators upload 500 hours of video

Every minute. Every day.

Still, taking a step back from it all, the amount of online activity is truly something to behold. Which is what this new graphic from Domo is about. Domo has updated its 'Data Never Sleeps' graphic for 2019, highlighting just how much is going on online every minute of every day.

If you've ever wondered whether digital marketing is important for your business, this graphic might well answer that question for you.
