futurejournalismproject: What Happens in an Internet Minute Via Intel: In just one minute, more than 204 million emails are sent. Amazon rings up about $83,000 in sales. Around 20 million photos are viewed and 3,000 uploaded on Flickr. At least 6 million Facebook pages are viewed around the world. And more than 61,000 hours of music are played on Pandora while more than 1.3 million video clips are watched on YouTube. All in all, that’s 625 terabytes of information sloshing about the tubes each minute. If we do some math that’s 878.9 petabytes per day which is a bit difficult to wrap our mind around. But if we convert that to the universal measurement of the MP3, we get the equivalent of about 235.9 billion songs passing through the internet and mobile networks each day.

Acme Video: How Could It Be Any Other Way?

On a recent Monday afternoon my wife and I were wandering through Paris, vaguely in the direction of the Latin Quarter, with the vague intention of seeing Terrence Malik’s The New World at a little theater we’d been to a couple times already. We got there about fifteen minutes early. The…
