Internet World Minute: Amazon customers spend $280,000

In our daily lives, not much usually happens in a minute. But when we measure what happens in a minute in the Internet world, the results are often surprising.

The Internet has become an important part of our daily lives, with daily services and related applications at its core . It is reported that there are about 5 billion Internet users in the world , which naturally generates a huge amount of user activity data.

Recently, Domo, an American cloud software company, released its 2021 annual infographic, which disclosed the activities carried out by global Internet users in one minute on the Internet and the amount of data generated. The following figure shows some relevant data:

As these statistics show, the internet has a considerable influence on our lives. This influence is becoming difficult to ignore and is attracting increasing media and political attention.

One measure of this impact is the revenue that the Internet brings to technology companies and businesses. To better understand this, we can look at the revenue data generated by technology companies every minute.

The majority of the revenues of the companies listed above can be attributed to activity on their various networks and platforms. In other words, we can understand that Google's 5.7 million searches per minute are a key source of its $433,014 in sales per minute.

It is understood that in 1993, there were only 14 million Internet users in the world. Today, there are more than 14 million Internet users in Chile alone. Despite this, the Internet market still has a lot of room for development.

According to statistics, the number of Internet users worldwide increased by 500 million in 2021, an increase of about 11% from 4.5 billion in 2020, which means there are 950 new Internet users every minute.

In the long run, as more infrastructure support facilities are built in poorer areas around the world, the number of Internet users in some emerging market regions will continue to grow vigorously. The following is a table based on survey data to show where the next billion Internet users may come from.

Judging from the growth trajectory of the Internet, we can expect that this data will become even larger in the future, and it is reasonable to measure this data down to the second.
