Here is the actual project:Every Second on the Internet

10 years ago Skype, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, Dropbox, and Instagram didn't exist.
20 years ago there were only 130 websites total, Google wasn't even around yet, and you had to pay for an email account through an ISP.
30 years ago there was no internet.

It's really worth a quick look, makes you realize how far we've came!

20 years ago there was no high speed internet for most residential customers. You paid by the minute for internet access and had to use your phone line ot do it. It wasn't until about 10-15 years ago that high speed internet was the standard for residential service. Dialup was so slow it makes your 3G service on you cellphone look like lightning speed...

The funny thing is that those statistics up top are as high as they are from people screwing around at work or school on their cell phone. lol
