Industrialist Anand Mahindra never fails to have a witty take on issues. This time is no different. Mahindra has shared an interesting statistic about internet traffic which shows the human race is a minority in the internet world.There are nearly 5 billion internet users worldwide, almost 63 percent of the world's population, since the public usage of the internet began in the 1990s. However, according to a statistic shared by Mahindra, only 38.5 percent of internet traffic is made up of humans.The remaining 61.5 percent are non-human including search bots, scrapers, crypto, hacking tools, and other human impersonators, little pieces of code skittering across the web. This amazing data was originally shared by a Twitter page named ‘World of Statistics’ and now Mahindra has retweeted it. He captioned the post by saying, “We are already living in the matrix.” Since being shared, the post has summoned more than 1,000 likes so far.
