Did you know how many books are published worldwide every year? Or how many pages are “digitized” by Google’s mega scanner every hour? Or maybe you are interested in knowing how many text messages are sent each month? Or how much money Dell claims to have earned via Twitter? Well you’ll learn all that and much more by watching this amazing video.

The video was prepared with regard to the Third Annual Media Convergence Forum, held in New York City on October 20-21, 2009. The video contains a whole spectrum of amazing statistics and interesting information on how technology and innovation are reshaping the media landscape and the world in general. For instance it shows that in 2009, digital advertising increased by 13.6% over traditional advertising mediums like Newspaper, Television, Radio and Magazines, all of which witnessed a steep decline in popularity. The comparison between Social network sites and prominent American TV channels is also very interesting. The video reveals that while the three main Cable Networks get 10 Million unique visitors every month, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube alone catch a whopping 9 Million unique visitors every day (250 Million visitors per month).
In short, the 4.46 min video is jam packed with figures that will blow you away, and may change your perception with regard to technology, and its impact on the world as we know it.
