Wasted Time on Unnecessary Data
When you visit a website, how much time does the site waste loading unessential data? Well, the folks at GTmetrix.com have a created an infographic to help answer this question. They based their graphic on data analyzed from the top 1,000 websites on the Internet. Using three basic optimization techniques, they discovered that there were 23 million gigabytes of completely useless data being downloaded each month. To give you an idea of how much data that is, it would take one person on a standard DSL line a mere 619 years to download it all! Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
Frankly, I had no idea how much useless data was really being downloaded each month until I came across this graphic. Sure, I knew it was a substantial amount. But 23 million gigabytes? The Internet is truly a place to waste not only time, but data as well. Trading time for data, is it worth it?

Fairly interesting topic, but the infographic itself was dull. The graphic was to cluttered, too many attempts at humor, and fairly redundant. An ideal graphic in my mind is one that expedites comprehension. This failed to do so.
