Welcome once again people 😁 I have decided to make the tech facts as a separate series and there will be a separate page for Tech Facts too. I will publish 10 tech facts per post everyday.
Hope you guys will like this series and I will try my best to continue this facts series as long as this website exists ❤️.
So, as I have given the update about my new idea let's jump into our very first tech facts post😉.
1) Most internet traffic isn’t from real humans. About 51% of internet traffic is non-human. Over 30% is from hacking programs, spammers, and phishing.
2) In 1956, 5 megabytes (5MB) of data weighed a ton It was 1956 when IBM launched RAMAC, the first computer with something like a hard drive that we use today.

3) Your search engine results are just the tip of the iceberg and are called the “Surface Web.” The actual secret unindexed websites that require special browsers and are accessible only to a select few are called the “Deep Web,” and its pool is at least 500 times larger.
4) 40% of American couples meet online. 40% of couples who got together in 2017 met online. Looking at a larger scale, meeting through friends declined by 13% from 1995 to 2017. Personally, I found this really great the impact internet has brought into our personal relationships are simply unbelievable in my point of view😂.

6) Food can also be made by 3D printing which is also eatable. NASA has the technology of 3D pizza to feed its astronauts. NASA also made meat through 3D printing. It was first built at the Meet International Space Station. Will you be willing to eat a 3D printing pizza 🍕. I will definitely try it out 😋.
