Number of websites surpasses world population by far
A study reveals that if someone was spending only one minute visiting each and every pages of the network it would take him approximately 31 thousand years without any rest.
But if he wants to read the whole content it would take him about 600 thousand decades.
At present there are more wbsites than people living in the planet. The current world population reaches 6,7 billion human beings according to the last censuses, what indicates that for every inhabitant in the world there are approximately 150 websites, as published in News.com.au.
What means this? If you spent just one minute reading every website in existence, you’d be kept busy for 31,000 years. Without any sleep. And an average person would need six hundred thousand decades of nonstop reading to read through all the information.
Mark Higginson, director of analytics for Nielsen Online, said the global online population had jumped 16 per cent since last year.
“Approximately 1.46 billion people worldwide now use the internet which represents a solid 16 per cent increase from the previous year’s estimate (1.26 billion in 2007)
According to IWS, the top 5 countries with the most internet users are:
1 – China (298,000,000 users, or 22.4% of their population)
2 – US (227,190,989)
3 – Japan (94,000,000)
4 – India (81,000,000)
5 – Brazil (67,510,400)

This is an absolute fallacy. There is no proof for this article. I think Neeraj’s statement makes more sense.
news.com.au? What kind of a source is that? If you have a link, please do share it with us because one of the most trustworthy links says there are just about 205,368,103 sites.

Joe…are you blindly agreeing with the author of this post?
“you are saying that there are 6.7 bn human beings in world and 150 websites per inhabitant.”
Neeraj, that is precisely what the writer is saying. Yes, it is a very large number. It means that there are one trillion five billion websites in the world. It’s a larger number than I would have thought but it really isn’t that shocking if you think about it.
Clearly the article could not have meant for every 150 people there is a website. The title says that there are more websites that people. If there was a website for every 150 people that would mean that there are far fewer websites than people. There were over a billion websites by the end of 1999, the internet has grown several hundred times over what it was then.
So no, the article did not misstate anything.
“The current world population reaches 6,7 billion human beings according to the last censuses, what indicates that for every inhabitant in the world there are approximately 150 websites, as published in News.com.au.”Please explain that how this is possible? you are saying that there are 6.7 bn human beings in world and 150 websites per inhabitant. Now if the multiply 150 with world population of 6.7bn the result is a very very large no.
I think you meant that for every 150 people there’s a website… Plz check and correct your write up.
