If You Printed Twitter It Would Cover 350 Million Sheets of Paper [Infographic]
In: web resources
20 Jan 2010
What would happen if you tried to print Twitter? The folks at CreativeCloud have done the imagining for us and come up with an impressive and detailed graphic that answers the big what-if question.
Each of the seven mind-blowing graphical conclusions sum up the printed Twitter mathematical figures in real-life ways and highlight just how much paper and money it would take to print out the entire microblogging site.
Now just try to image what would happen if you tried to print Facebook.
Per the intriguing graphic embedded below, if you printed Twitter …
- … the seven billion tweets to date are composed of 104,860,000,000 words, as many as 133,000 copies of the the King James version of the Bible.
- … it would cover 350 million sheets of paper, which is 37 times the number of pages used in bills introduced in the United States Congress since 1955.
- … the paper would weigh three and a half million pounds, the equivalent of 82 school buses fully loaded with 84 happily tweeting kids.
- … and did nothing but read tweets throughout the entire work day, it would take 2,912 years to get through it.
- … and laid the pages end to end, they would stretch 60,763 miles or two and a half times around the earth.
- … on an average HP Inkjet printer, it would cost you $24,500,000 to print in black ink or $55,606,250 to include the Twitter blue.
- … keeping up with the 26 million tweets daily would require 30 inkjet printers working around the clock to print more than 1,300,000 pages every day.

Yearly salary divided by 2080 hours
2080 hours = 40 hours x 52 weeks

Merlin, Griffon, Kestrel, Klimov VK-107, Daimler-Benz DB 601, Allison V-1710 just to name a few.
You should not be comparing a road engine with an piston aero engine. A typical car engine will have 80% or more of its throttle for less than 20% of the time while an aero engine will on full throttle during take off and climb and between 60-70% of throttle during its cruise phase which is almost 90 percent of flight time. Try running the car engine at 70% throttle for an hour. Now bring in oxygen shortage, density and temperature, you would see that the aero engine is still the best compromise.
Dependability apart, the other reason is that the aero engine doesn't have the same instantaneous need for extreme power, there is no situation during which we need to stop and move. Dependability, endurance, weight, power to weight ratio and operating environment are the key criteria.
If you want to see high performance try comparing a turboprop with a road engine.

I will agree that on the surface it may seem silly, but the law is there for a very very good reason.
SAFETY
The crossing gates and protective devices are not foolproof, they are mechanical devices and can and do fail.
The only sure way to be absolutely postiively safe is to look, both ways every time.
Dont ever allow a mechanical device to tell you the coast is clear. do it yourself.
That is exactly what buses are required to do because crossing protection is NOT reliable enough.
P.S. love the avatar btw, Tolkein rules!!

I have used the same labels in lasers and inkjets, so I'm not really sure what the difference is. I know you cant use photo quality glossy paper in a laser, but other than that I've used the same paper and labels in all my printers, inkjet and laser.

Laser printers are only really more economical if you are turning out a large number of black-and-white documents. If you are printing for a business then yes by all means invest in one. However, if you are printing a lot of color and for home use the cost is rather prohibitive.
