AUDIO: Microwave starting
NICK EICHER, HOST: The span of one minute isn’t a lot of time by human standards. About all you can do with it is nuke your coffee in the microwave.
But in internet time— a minute is forever.
By 2018 estimates— in just one minute …
Nearly 1 million of us will log onto Facebook …
We’ll swipe 1.1 million times on Tinder …
Create 2.4 million snaps on SnapChat …
Search Google 3.7 million times …
Watch 4.3 million videos on YouTube …
Send 18 million text messages …
And finally— send a whopping 187 million emails.
Ponder that while your coffee heats up.
AUDIO: Microwave ding
Ahh. There it is.
It’s The World and Everything in It.
