According to a new study, the average person consumes about 34 gigabytes of data a day, much of it in the form of video pixels. Pfft, amateurs. 34 gigs is probably what I consume before lunch on a typical Saturday. Oh, stop looking at me like that. Most of it isn’t even pr0n.
Actually, I wish I could chart my data consumption from the mid-90’s to today. The trend line probably spiked about seven years ago when I got my broadband connection and has steadily risen ever since then. And even though I should be used to it by now, I continue to be amazed by the sheer vastness of this digital universe we have created for ourselves. One day, the Internet is going to become sentient and we’re all going to be shipped off to the mines, so we’d better enjoy the party while it lasts.
