According to Zippia, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced by internet users daily. That's the total amount of data generated globally by all people using the internet to search, post, and communicate. According to estimates, each person generates 1.7 MB of data every second. Remember that even if this is the global average, those of us who regularly stream movies and music produce far more data than the 40% of the world's population who don't even have access to the Internet. According to Zippia, Americans use 3.14 gigabytes of internet data every minute in the US, whether for sending or reading text or email messages, streaming and video content checking the weather, or posting to or browsing through social media.
