In most science fiction movies you'll hear the term 'Alternate reality' but is there actually an alternate reality? highly unlikely however, i don't think i have a definite answer to that yet but what i can surely confirm is that their is a reality were each minute is been expanded and explored until each second of that minute is apprehended and also explored to get each millisecond of that second and so on and so forth until you get to much of the nanoseconds, that is the world of the internet yes!, the internet lives no in minutes, not even in seconds.

With you normal human apprehension  of time a minute is not so much and so but its one of the smallest time for us to get a job done but in terms of the computer or internet nah! nah!! no!!!, A minute is one of the biggest time for a job to get done, some people cannot even wait up to a minute while waiting for a youtube video to load they might just close it. Speed is vital thereby cancelling out an effective minute when it comes to internet.


Do you know what happens in one minute on the Internet? In just one minute, more than 204 million emails are sent. Amazon rings up about $83,000 in sales. Around 20 million photos are viewed and 3,000 uploaded on Flickr. At least 6 million Facebook pages are viewed around the world. And more than 61,000 hours of music are played on Pandora while more than 1.3 million video clips are watched on YouTube. 


Computing and internet is like a plague and virus to us, most things or activities could be paralysed in its absence, huge amount of money lost for just a second of downtime for a company, everyday mega companies announce more faster computer processors in RPMs or GHz,  we are also on the verge of the quantum computing for everyday user. As many new devices get added up, more transfer of data becomes inevitable and thus it's weighted on the internet; downloads, listening to music, online streaming (especially watching football online! so cool) uploads and downloads of photos, docs, web page synch, backups, Data centre activities, twitter feeds, online gaming, stock exchanges and what have we?
all of the above mentioned activities and even much more others generate network traffic. Following is an infographic illustrates just how much data passes through the network in 60 seconds. Nearly 640K Gb of global IP data is transferred in just one Internet minute!

Today, the number of networked devices equals the world’s population. By 2015, the number of networked devices is expected to be double the world’s population. And by the time we reach 2015, it would take five years to view all the video content crossing IP networks each second.
So can our existing networks handle this explosion in network traffic and maintain consumer expectations for immediate access from multiple devices? And if the networks can expand to accommodate this growth, can they do it while maintaining security? Telco equipment manufacturers and service providers will be on the hook to ensure that we continue to enjoy access to information and entertainment on our mobile without any interruption to service.
 
The Brains behind the Computer processors; Intel has began working with equipment managers and service providers to help them do just that. lately, Intel announced its next-generation communications platform, codenamed “Crystal Forest,” aimed at bolstering performance and tightening up the network security to handle the increasing network traffic.


By enabling equipment manufacturers and services providers to deliver platforms that grow along with the network, Intel is also enabling consumers to stay connected on intelligent devices every Internet minute of the day.

In time past people have voyaged the earth, or embarked on specific mission fueled by passion, either to travel round Europe, Visit all Asian countries, Visit all Art galleries, Visit all Museums, Visit the coldest places on earth, visit the world's best resort locations but these realistic fascinations will be shredded as someone is about to indulge in digital fascination.

For over 3 years i have been struggling to stop my friends list from reaching 1000, so periodically i do friend's list maintenance, i kinda know a good number of them after been in separately different places for a lengthy period and after those period i have increased friend's request.  So i devised a method which is sacrificial in nature: in-order for me to add someone new someone else has to leave, its really difficult to do so i avoid doing it most times by delaying the ineveitable.

Now there is someone who has no problem with adding friends has he has found a solution to it {better one if you might say}You can say what you like but i think this Man has got some kudos, i guess one very good morning he logged into facebook and someone gave him an add on facebook making his friends list 788 from 787, he had a thought that 'why would i add up this someone with whom i might not exceed the status of acquaintance or i can force a real live meeting myself'.

I would suppose that gave birth to his thought about visiting all 788 facebook friends of his over a 3 year time frame. You can only guess the resources and cost such a mission will eat up but well, that is his own way to justify having over 500 facebook friends, what about you?
