16.《必然》The inevitable

No one at the time considered how great the power of the Internet to inspire users to share was. We did not imagine in the past that the Internet would become what it is today, and in the same way we are still not sure today what it will become. Just 20 years after its birth, the world of the Internet is already vast and boundless. The total number of web pages has exceeded 60 trillion. What a concept: 60 trillion, which, if averaged over every person in the world, is nearly 10,000 pages. Then, in the first decade of the century, 50 million blogs exploded almost instantly, with two blogs posted every second. And a few years later, videos produced by internet users were uploaded to youtobe at a rate of 65,000 per day, with 300 hours of video length bursting forth every minute in 2015.

当时没有一个人考虑到互联网所激发用户共享的力量是多么的巨大，我们过去没有想象出互联网会变成今天的样子，同样的，今天我们仍然不清楚互联网将会变成什么样子。就在它诞生20年后，互联网的世界就已经广袤到无边无际了。网页总数已经超过60万亿。这是一个什么概念？60万亿，如果平均到世界上的每一个人的身上，就是将近一万个页面。紧接着，在本世纪最初的10年里，5000万个博客几乎瞬间爆发出来、每秒钟都有两篇博客发布出来。而再过几年之后，互联网用户所制作的视频以每天6万5千条的速度上传到youtobe，2015年的每一分钟都会迸发出300个小时长度的视频。
