According to BPD Group, "the U.S. is home to 425 million web-connected devices, while the U.S. Census Bureau reports a population of 315 million." We now have more web-connected gizmos than we do people!
Wow! And, so true. You've heard me talk about how we don't have television, but don't let that fool you into thinking that means we're disconnected. Let's inventory our house: 3 Kindles, 2 iPads, and 2 laptops, 1 desktop, and 2 smart phones. That makes 10 devices in a household of 5.
I'm aware that I've become a bit "preachy" here lately with my Lenten posts and all, so I'm not going to elaborate on what this stat says about us or how it ought to challenge us. I'll just say "Wow!" and otherwise let it speak for itself. Happy Thursday!
