Friday Fact Box - Did You Know?

by Katharina Scholtz

2009/02/06

Yes, we're doing it - going multi-media with today's Friday Fact Box. This exceptional video brings together a range of statistics that give some perspective on the exponential growth of the Internet and us as a human race.

To quote Smallz: A seamless combination of vast subject matter and slamming music in a bite sized video.

To give you an idea:

The number of Internet devices in:

1984 - 1000
1992 - 1 000 000
2008 - 1 000 000 000

Watch it.

*Update: The video was put together by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman, you can learn more about it here.

Sheesh, talk about hard hitting. Kinda puts it all in perspective.

Yup, it's really well put together - not stuff we didn't really know but specific numbers have that way of getting your attention.

Concise, full of facts well brought together, powerful, useful to explain to novices.
It reminds me why your RSS is welcome in my feeder

Thanks Nic, we can't take credit for it though..

It is an incredible video - researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman - you can read more about its origins here http://shifthappens.wikispaces.com/History+of+the+Presentation
