We live in incredible times! We are more connected than ever.<click>About 1/3 of the worlds population is on the Internet. 2.4B users (about 12% or 276M in NA aloneabout 2/3 the population) (Source: Internet World Stats, Dec 2012)<click>We have more information at our fingertips than we could have imagined. Google now indexes over 1 Trillion URLs each day. (Source: Google, 2008)<click>and there are 665M web sites amazing when you consider this number was only 50M in 2003. (Source: Netcraft Site Data, July 2012)<click>Not only are we using the Internet to access information more quickly and easily, but we are using it to connect with others. To learn from others. To share with others. Facebook now has over 1B users incredibly rapid growth from 2003 when Mark Zuckerberg was at Harvard and first launched Facebook. (Source: Facebook, Oct 2012)<click>We use our smart phones not only to find the nearest coffee shop or directions on Google Maps, but to send real-time updates to our friends, family and colleagues. Over half of Facebook users use their mobile devices to access and update their social networking information. (Source: Gartner 2012)<click>One of the reasons that Internet traffic is accelerating so quickly is of course the access by mobile devices. They now account for 10% or Internet traffic. Last year there were 427M smart phones sold last year alone. (Source: SocialBakers May 2012)How quickly our world has changed!!
Not only are we more connected, but the adoption rates are unprecedented. If you think about how much iPods changed our view of portable devices, yet Apple only sold 1.3M iPods in its first two years. Compare that with the I first two years of iPad sales, Apple sold 66M iPads. (Source: KPCB, Apple Quarterly Results)Recently, Apple sold out of its 5 Million iP hone 5s in its first 3 days!!
