Every year at the end of the year we place this annual infographic from DOMO . They collect facts and figures about the use of the internet, apps and other online activities. Ultimately, they show with an infographic how much data is generated online in 60 seconds. And that is quite a lot. I continue to be amazed by the figures, and secretly I also wonder what effect all this has on the environment .

Global Internet Population Continues to Grow

Not surprisingly, the global internet population continues to grow. Where in 2013 2.1 billion people used the internet, in 2023 this will be 5.2  phone number lead billion. More than doubled in 10 years. What happens every 60 seconds worldwide online?

Newcomers ChatGPT & Instagram Threads
A striking newcomer this year in the infographic is ChatGPT. This AI tool can no longer be ignored: you hear about it  go to ‘plans’ in the left menu and choose ‘audiences’ everywhere. Worldwide, we have sent almost 7000 prompts to the AI ​​tool every minute of the day!

Another newcomer: Instagram Threads . Although I secretly think those numbers are not entirely fair, because Threads was only launched in Europe on ukraine business directory December 14th. In the rest of the world it was launched on July 5th, 2023. Since then, 3,720 people have downloaded Instagram Threads every minute of the day. And that doesn’t even include Europe in that number. Impressive!

Well-known social media channels
I think it is worth briefly paying attention to the well-known social media channels such as Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. What happened worldwide every minute of the day on these channels? Especially interesting if you compare the figures from last year .
