How Well Are You Connecting With Your World?

Oh boy! This week has really brought the enormity of the impact of social media to the fore for me. As I prepared for this weeks webinar 'Connecting with your World'.  I decided to see what the latest stats on social media are. Wow it's scary!!

See if you splutter your cappuccino when you read these, I did...

  • The world population is 7 billion
well ok....
  • but it has doubled in just the last 50 years
or put simply we have had more population growth in the last 50 years than the last 2 million years!!

Here are some more.....we send

90 TRILLION emails a year
8 billion texts a day
340 million tweets a day
also....

There are 150 million LinkedIn users
 & 
845 million active Facebook users


...and

YouTube has 3 billion views per day with 48 hours of video are loaded every minute

Which now begs the question..... how do we find time for everything else in our life?

Here is your challenge. Can you switch off all access to your emails and social media for 24 hours. Let me know if you manage it.
