[Misc] 11 billion people

[Bozza]

This has nothing to do with the club specifically nor their excellent, I'm sure, partner Oliver & Graimes but these sort of statistics always niggle with me. Over 11 billion people every month search Google. That's 11 billion people out of the world's population of, oh, 7.3 billion (give or take). You see how that doesn't quite work, right?

 

[Frutos]

I agree totally with your niggle on this one Bozza - presumably what it means is that over 11 billion Google searches are performed each month, which is obviously rather different than 11 billion different people performing Google searches every month, so why not just say what it means?

Even then though, 11 billion per month? That seems on the high side to me, so who knows if that's what it really is meant to mean.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Make that 11 billion plus 1,I use it sometimes....

Up there with football starting in 1993. Now an entire generation of kids / adults who think Liverpools until very recently record number of titles don't count. That's if they're even aware. Would love Premier League to become Premiership and 'wipe out' all Uniteds titles!!

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

There are currently seven billion people alive today and the Population Reference Bureau estimates that about 107 billion people have ever lived. This means that there are 15 dead people for every person alive. Think about that reincarnationists.

That's actually the attendance figures for the Hull game.

Perhaps rebirth/reincarnation is not limited to Earth. Maybe not even this universe? And there are many realms of existence in this reality of form/matter and also non-matter spiritual forms that are taught about in eastern teachings.

I take it they mean 11 billion searches by people allowing for multiple searches by one person.
I imagine it's been worded that way to catch the people who believe everything they read on the interweb!
My ex was a classic " well... I read it on a website so it must be right! "

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Maybe Google should come clean and admit that to find what you are looking for requires 100 separate searches.

The true statistic is that about three and a half million people a day succeed in finding what they were looking for when they used Google.


Edit I might be exaggerating slightly. I tried to look up the data on Google, but gave up because it was too difficult.

I hope your ex never read NSC
