Nontitled

This marvellous little space is going to be something a little different from my other sites.

On here, my aim is to highlight unusual little things that make you step back, stop for a moment and let your mind wander, as you have a chance to ponder aspects of Life, The Universe and Everything that you normally wouldn't even consider during your day.

...In short, a brief web-inspired 'timeout'. Enjoy.

Pause for thought: some quick facts

As described in the recent “Did You Know 3.0“…

Years it took to reach a market audience of 50 million…
Radio: 38 years
TV: 13 years
Internet: 4 years
iPod: 3 years
Facebook: 2 years

The number of Internet devices existing in…
1984: 1,000
1992: 1,000,000
2008: 1,000,000,000

Four exabytes (4x10^19) of unique information will be generated this year - more than the previous 5,000 years.

In 5 minutes, almost 700,000 songs are estimated to have been illegally downloaded.

I’m a little sceptical of the last statistic, but all of the rest (along with the others from the video) are fairly striking to think about.
