We're about to head out to enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend, but before we go, we wanted to share some news that caught our eye.
As if you needed any more proof that online video is the wave of the future, a new forecast predicts that Internet traffic will increase fourfold, to 767 exabytes, by 2014. (What's an exabyte? We didn't know either until we looked it up, but one exabyte equals one billion gigabytes.)
Online video will make up more than 90 percent of that traffic. As the survey put it, that means it would take 72 million years to watch all of the video crisscrossing the global network.
We're going to chew on those numbers (along with those veggie burgers we'll be grilling up) this weekend, and we hope you have a fun, relaxing holiday.
