The results of Ericsson’s Mobility Report show that humans are also huge consumers of mobile data. According to the study, worldwide mobile data traffic increased by 60 per cent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.
The total mobile data usage during this period was estimated to be 5.7 exabytes, which is 5 million times the space on a standard PC hard drive. In addition, the results indicated that between 2015 and 2021, data usage will show a further increase, thanks to 12 times growth of smartphone usage.
North Americans were by far the largest consumers of data overall, accounting for roughly 4GB of data per smartphone per month. Ericsson believes that by 2021, that amount will jump to 22GB.
