We live in a digital age where the Internet is no longer a means for past time; it can be your workplace, your phone, your mailman, your creative outlet and your television all at once. Florida-based data company Fractl took it upon itself to track our usage in a live format and created the webpage 'The Content Explosion.' This eye-opening website, which is essentially a [live-feed infographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thats-one-second), tracks and measures what is going on in cyberspace by the second. Some measurements include [1.6 websites being created](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/host-tracker) and over 1.3 million [spam emails being sent every second](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inbox-report). It also includes comparable facts to put a more visual spin on the website, instead of repetitively throwing numbers at its viewers. One example includes comparing bytes of data to gallons of water; if each byte of data usage was a gallon of water, we would fill the ocean in 122 days! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Real-time Internet Usage Tracking:** Tracking internet usage in real-time has become a trend in the digital age. - **Live-feed Infographics:** Live-feed infographics are an emerging trend for presenting complex digital data. - **Data Visualization Comparisons:** More companies are utilizing data visualization comparisons to help viewers better understand digital data. ### Who This Affects Most - **Data Analytics:** The data analytics industry has the opportunity to utilize real-time internet usage tracking to improve business strategies. - **Market Research:** Market research companies can use live-feed infographics to track trends across various industries. - **Digital Marketing:** Digital marketing agencies can utilize data visualization comparisons to present their campaigns to clients in a more engaging way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Website Traffic Analyzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkstat.md) - [Automatic Browser Time Tracking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trackerjam.md) - [Network Performance Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internetspeedtestcom.md) - [Browsing Productivity Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/browser-time.md) - [Data Collection Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/data-tracking.md) - [Real-Time Website Monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtime-website-monitoring.md) - [Real-Time Emotion Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-mood-ring.md) - [Time Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surfpal.md) - [Uncharted Web Journeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncharted-web-journeys.md)
