5000 days of the internet review

I found it really interesting on how BIG the internet is. It is crazy how much work we do through the internet. It is almost unimaginable. There are more than 2 million emails that are sent every second. This was a crazy number to me, it is also wild to think about when Ted said that the internet used 5 % of all electricity used in the world.

I believe that this causes some very large problems for us. We are getting so unattached form the "real world". We have to think about what will be best for us as humans in the future, but its important to think about all pros and cons of this internet world.

Ted says that the numbers are so big on the internet that it is become very meaningless. Does anyone know what he means when he says that?

Ted says that there is over 100 billion clicks a day! 100 billion... I never thought that it would be that much. I think its also so true and so crazy to think that everything we do, spreadsheets, computers, tvs, everything will be part of the web. Everything is connected to the "Machine".

What do you think will be the problems in the future with this internet world?

  1. Kevin Kelly is the speaker on this video, Ilya. Ted.com is the website, I think you got the two confused. Anyway, I see your weeks' one, two, and three posts. Try to keep them on time and you'll earn more points.
