Cubicle Chronicles: Productivity and motivational tips for inside sales warriors. By Josiane Feigon.

Data Consumption and Digital Distractions

I really thought people were bailing on me and wrote me off until a few came through LinkedIn and asked what the deal was because their emails were being bounced back as undeliverable. I swear- it’s not about you, it’s about me- I take full responsibility and really want to hear from you but my josiane@tele-smart.com email is being very selective and excluding some.

When I called my ISP, they told me about 40K emails were sitting on my server and that seemed to be the reason. They asked if I wanted to sort through these emails before they cleared the server and I thought to myself, how can I possibly waste any more time on email.

That got me thinking about data consumption in general and how much time we spent on phone, email, TV and other digital distractions.

This great visual explains it all. data-consumption2Artist Rob Vargas created this graphic using data from a study by the University of California at San Diego. Americans consume 3.6 zettabytes a day. A zettabyte is one billion trillion bytes.
