The Power of Communication Today

Today, the means of communication has multiplied since the days of the telegram.

The means of communicating is more, the quality of communication is better every day, and the amount of communication is more every day.

There is a billion users on Google, Facebook and Youtube. That is 1/7 of the world's population on this earth.

People upload almost 350 million photos to Facebook everyday.

There is over 1 billion messages sent on Facebook messenger every day.

300 hours of video are uploaded to Youtube every minute and every day people watch hundreds of millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views.

By 3 pm anywhere, there is over 150 billion emails sent already.

Google processes over 1 trillion searches a year.

Over 2 million blogs are written every day. That is enough to fill Time Magazines for over 700 years.

There is over 9,000 tweets per second.

In a span of 4 minutes, there will be over 400,000 skype calls being made.

Over 2,000 instagram photos are uploaded every second. In 6 minutes, there will be over 800,000 new photos on Instagram.

There is close to 30,000 GB of internet traffic every second.

These are just some statistics and you can find more of them.

You have at your reach and access means of communicating so fast which the world has not known for a very long time. Make the comparison of a Greek messenger boy having to sprint miles to deliver a message to composing a tweet or a imessage or text and sending it to the intended recipient in less than 2 seconds and you will see what I mean.

Literally almost everywhere in the world you can pick up a phone, open up an email, open a messenging app, open up a picture app or open up a social network and in a matter of seconds, perhaps not even a second, you can send a message to someone on the other side of the world.

This is a world where people everywhere are furiously wanting to and having to be in communication with so many things and people and by the use of so many media channels.

People love being in communication. They would rather be in communication with something deadly, than not be in communication at all with anything.

That is the power of communication.
