We are more connected than ever before. The internet has represented the biggest shift in communications since our ancestors first figured out that one grunt can sound different from another. Information technology means that around four exabytes of information will be generated this year – which is more than the previous five thousand years combined.
The number of Facebook users is 360 million, and growing. If Facebook were a country, it would be the third-largest in the world, behind China and India. One in eight couples who married in 2008 met online. We have five times as many words in the English language as we did in Shakespeare’s day, and we are now faced with an amount of information in one single day that our great-grandparents would have faced in an entire lifetime.
Relaxing and taking a break from it all can be as easy as renting apartments in Malaga, the idyllic get-away location.
