1 in a million chance

The math here is incredible. As I have often said, it is very hard for humans to understand/comprehend really big numbers. This give us a better sense of that. And, it is just amazing to think about how much Twitter is used on a daily basis.

  1. We all have a hard time processing large numbers. We hear them and think, "Whoa, that's a big number," but we don't process just how big. It is amazing the plane of thought that she has to be on. Looking for the negative in a new idea so that others don't experience it. That has to be a hard place to put yourself.

  2. This is interesting to think. The human mind can only handle I think about 7 numbers. That's why phone numbers are the way they are. So when I hear only it's only 1 and 10000 chance to have a "bad" experience. I'm like oh then it can't be me. Thats not true. I go through Atlanta, GA. Biggest airport in the US. So now it's most likely. That's crazy to think about but it makes a lot of sense.
