IPhone owners download an average number of 37 apps in total to their devices, while G1 (Google phone) owners download an average of 40. The Apple App Store had more than 35,000 applications at the end of April 2009. There are an estimated 30 million combined iPhone and iPod touch users around the world and yet the iPhone generates 33% of all smartphone traffic worldwide.
The stunning thing about this figure is that it took only nine months to reach a billion downloads. Like many, I noticed the Apple adverts for their billionth app download the other day. Particularly in the last five years as broadband and smartphones with internet access have grown into ubiquity in many developed and, to a large extent, emerging economies. The point is that this demonstrates the inexorable change to our world the internet has made in less than two decades. Google search and index a terabyte of information in just 68 seconds over 1,000 computer servers and run over a billion searches every day! Today, there are 1.3 billion internet users, and 3.5 billion mobile subscribers and Google indexes over 20 billion internet pages. In 1998 Google launched with an index of 26 million pages.īy 2000, this number increased to 500 million pages and just over 360 million internet users. In December 1995, Altavista launched a search engine which had indexed 16 million documents.īy the end of 1996, it had 19 million searches daily and, by 1997, there were 100 million internet users. In 1994 there were around 10,000 internet users websites and 3 million internet users. When NCSA Mosaic (the first widely used web browser) came out in 1993, every new website that was created would get posted to its "What's New" page at a rate of about one a day. In 1990, the very first web page was created.īy late 1992, there were only 26 websites in the world. Google published their founder's letter last week and reviewed a little bit of the history of net and search. Today, the focus is much more about the impact this has on our lives, loves and relationships, than business accounting services and systems.īy way of example, here are two examples of dramatic change. The Moore's law of doubling power and halving costs every 18 months continues. That cost over £100,000! Today … about £5 as this would be a three-year old mobile smartphone or less. For example, in 1991 I sold a system to one insurance firm that included a processor with 128KB of memory and 16MB of storage. The amazement is for people of my generation who grew up with technology being expensive and slow to change.
I was talking about technology the other day and continue to be amazed by the speed, breadth and depth of how it is changing our world.
