There Will Soon Be More Mobile Devices Than Humans — And We'll Need A New Internet To Cope

Media_httpstatic2busi_hrrsd

In five years, planet earth will be home to 7.6 billion people, says the United Nations. Those folks will be using 10.3 billion Internet-connected mobile devices.

In other words, there will be more mobile devices in the world than people, says Cisco in its annual jaw-dropping report on the growth of the mobile Internet.

The tipping point will happen this year, Cisco predicts.

You might look around at the toys in your house, your smartphone, your tablet, your Pebble watch, and think this stat is obvious.

The World's Population Density, Visualized

Media_httpimggawkeras_lxywl

It's difficult to get a handle on the population density around the world. Fortunately, this visualization makes it a little easier to get your head round.

Put together by Derek Watkins, it's actually interactive: you get to use a slider to shift the population density and see it change before your eyes. You should head to his website to try it out for yourself. The image above shows the areas around the world that home 5 people per square mile or more.
