This infographic designed by Excelacom, shows just how much data is generated every minute, combining the latest statistics from 2016. The results are mind blowing! Check out a selection of amazing stats:

– 2.4 million searches are generated on Google every minute
– 20.8 million messages are sent on WhatsApp
– 69,444 hours of video are watched on Netflix
– 700,000 people login on Facebook
– Over $200,000 worth of sales are made on Amazon

And despite the rise of social media, 150 million emails are still sent every minute in 2016. Impressive.

I also found it very interesting to see that “newer” social media platforms, like Snapchat or Tinder, were already amongst the biggest data generators.
