So, Just out of curiosity, how much internet is being trafficked a day? It seems that humans are becoming more and more dependent to the internet (and electronics in general) to the point that well over 73% of America uses it on a daily basis (Of course that is a obvious one) So, what do you guys think of this?

I don't know what to think of it. I like to use technology as a resource to learn and communicate. Dependency on any one thing is bad, and I think people should have a time and place to use electronics (example: not in your car).

Well, I use, on average, 4GB per day in bandwidth. Most people use considerably less, like 512MB a day (or .5GB). There are 314,000,000 people in the united states. So I would say around 157,000,000 gigabytes, which is about 149 Petabytes of data.

Fun fact:

If we use 150ish Petabytes of data per day...

We could fill up the brains of 75 people with the trafficked data. I'm pretty sure they'd be vegetables afterwards, but 75 people nonetheless!

If you're worried about being traced, all you need to do is use a really good proxy...in an incognito browser...with someone else's server connection...avoiding certain sites....relaying any received data to a line far enough away to escape should anything happen...being adept in freerunning as well as long-distance running...and have plenty of hideouts.
See? Easy.
