These 12 funny amazing technology facts will not only enlighten you about how the world depends on these amazing inventions but may also surprise you with their origins. Let’s discuss them together:
12 amazing Technology facts are:
1. Pigeon vs the Internet:
Like every other person or animal, pigeons have a speed limit. For example, pigeons can only fly at about 8 Km per hour which makes them slower than the internet. Well hold this thought for a bit and we’ll explore why the Internet speed in India right now is between 55.65Mbps to 70.86Mbps on April 2022, but do you know till 2010 the pigeon carrier was faster than the internet surprisingly.
2. Worlds First Virus:
In the age of the internet, one word is so common between us and that word is ‘Virus’ but do you know the world’s first virus name? the world’s first computer virus name is Creeper which was created in 1971 by Bob Thomas of BBN. Creeper was actually designed as a security test to see if a self-replicating program was possible and how it was spread between computers The virus simply displayed the message: “I’m the creeper, catch me if you can!”
3. Emails Reply:
In today’s spam-filled world, spam and phishing email messages have been fired at users with little regard for the recipient. But did you know? On average only one reply was sent per 12 Million (1,200,000) spam emails. The number of all emails sent is over 15 Billion (15,000,000,000) each day.
4. Fastest Internet in the World:
The internet speed of India in April 2022 is between 55.65 to 70.86 Mbps, but do you know that the world’s fastest internet is in The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at 91GB per second?
The NASA connection was confirmed by an unnamed source to a popular Science & Technology website who also mentioned: “The high-speed Internet comes from the speed of light. Light travels at 670 million meters per second (or 670 m/s, or 186000 miles per minute) close to 300 billion times faster than typical broadband connections. Another thing that makes it fast? It doesn’t use copper wires as most home networks do—it uses optical fibers which can travel with no limit on distance, unlike copper cables which max out at about 300 feet before needing extra equipment to be extended farther.
