Tech Facts #5

 Hello guys ๐Ÿ‘‹ as usual we are going to little bit wiser than yesterday together with some interesting tech facts. Let's get started

1) 92% of the world's currency is digital. Can you believe it๐Ÿ˜ฎ. It's insane if you ask me. Just 8% is physical currency the world is really adapting to technology at a very fast rate atleast in terms of financial sector.

2) Domain name registration were free until 1995. As many people didn't know about internet's power domain name registration were free but in 1995 a company called " Network Solutions" was given the right to charge $100 for 2 years once and 30% of the fund was given to development of Internet infrastructure. In 1997, the fees was brought down to $70 for two years once.


3) The animal in the Firefox logo obviously, now we can't see a fox because of their over simplified logo๐Ÿ˜‚ I will upload a old logo's image now to the fact. It's not a fox as you thought it is a red panda ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜‚. Today only I also came to know about this. But, the English word for red panda is firefox. I am having a doubt, is the word red panda not an English word? ๐Ÿค”

4) The word "robot" comes from a Czech word "robota" which means forced labor. Kinda dark if you ask me๐Ÿ˜‚.

5) The first Video Camera ๐Ÿ“น which was invented in 1956 was in the size of a piano ๐ŸŽน. Sheesh!!๐Ÿ˜‚ Just imagine if you want to carry it somewhere you would definitely need a mini van.

6) An average of 60 billion emails are sent everyday and 97% of them are spams and the most crazy thing for me is spammers receive only one reply for every 12 million emails sent๐Ÿ˜‚. I will quit that on the first day of spamming itself ๐Ÿ˜‚ I don't know how these many of them are there.


7) On eBay, there is an average of $680 worth of transactions every second. I am amazed about that one๐Ÿ˜ฏ. Are you? Let me know in the comments ๐Ÿ˜.


8) The average 21 year old has spent 5,000 hours playing video games, sent 250,000 emails, instant messages, and text messages, and has spent 10,000 hours on a mobile phone alone. Those numbers are insane ๐Ÿคฏ


9) The very first Apple logo featured Sir Isaac Newton sitting underneath a tree, with an apple๐ŸŽ about to hit his head. I am just imagining how iPhones and other apple products that has Apple's logo would look like if it had its first ever logo till now๐Ÿ˜‚.

10) In general, people tend to read as much as 10% slower from a screen than from paper.
