A Day of Activity on the Internet
Key takeaways
- Emails dominate digital activity with over 333B messages sent daily
- Other popular mediums include text messages (24B/day) and Google searches (9B/day)
Putting it into perspective
Here are some interesting ways these data points can be broken down:
- 333B emails would be equal to every person on earth receiving 41.6 emails (higher in reality due to the fact that 2.6B people don’t have access to internet)
- 2B daily Tinder swipes suggests there are 83.3M swipes per hour, or 1.4M swipes per minute (Tinder has about 75M monthly active users)
