hey, vsauce. michael here. and thank you forclicking on this video. but how many times a day do you click? and how many times a daydo you type keys on a keyboard? you might be surprised by the answer. and one of thebest ways to know exactly how many actions you're taking per day is to use software like whatpulse. whatpulse measures how often you do things.keystrokes, mouse clicks. it even measures

desain rumah minimalis type 45, the total distance you've moved yourcursor. it's really fun stuff to track and, of course, depending on who you are, or whatday it is, or what you do, your totals per day will change. but it's been found that,on average, people who use computers a lot, like office workers, type around 5,000 to 10,000keystrokes every day. and they click a mouse
about 1,500 to 3,000 times a day. interestingly,computer users in the uk typed the most. sitting down and using a computer - typing,scrolling, moving the mouse - burns about 20 more calories an hour than just doing nothing.i mean, if you do nothing, you're still using calories. it takes energy for you toexist. you have to keep your body temperature where it should be, you have to breath, pumpblood. to figure out how many calories it takes, per day, for you to just exist, simplytake your weight in pounds and multiply it by 11. if you want to be more specific,take your weight in kilograms and multiply it by .02. what you wind up with is the numberof calories it takes, per minute, to keep you existing. that's the number of caloriesthat you burn every minute doing nothing.
it's not very much. and using a computer doesn'traise it that much higher, but don't be discouraged, because typing and texting can bind us together. we text and type on keyboards a lot. and rapidly.in fact, every day, 6 billion text messages are sent.and there are only 7 billion people on earth. and that's just texting. we'll add keyboardtyping in a little bit later. but i want to take a quick detour and talk about theletters, and the characters, and the keys themselves. they're not all pressed the same number oftimes. some are more common than others. let's begin visually. this is a sculpture of a keyboard, where every letter has been raised to a height that corresponds to its popularity comparedto the other letters. the letter "e" is the
most common letter typed in almost every language that has a letter "e." but to figure out letter frequencies in textsthat you type yourself, use patrick wied's heat map. on this site you can type a sentencein and see how frequently the characters are used. for instance, this sentence containsevery letter in the alphabet at least once, but it uses "e" and "o" the most. roughly speaking, and considering differentlanguages, of all the characters typed, or tapped on a phone everyday, about 9% of themare the letter "e," which is a lot, but the letter "e" is not the most common key. thespace bar is the most commonly pressed key - nearly twice as popular as the letter "e."
now that we know about the space bar's popularity,let's return to texting and add in keyboard typing. if we assume that about 350 millionpeople are typing 5-10,000 characters a day on keyboards, and add that to the number ofcharacters being texted everyday, we can do a little bit of math and determine that atany given second, here, on earth, the space bar is being pressed 6 million times. 6 million spaces bar a second! what a greatworld, right? well, let's think of it this way. because it only takes 1/10th of a secondto tap, or type, a space bar, when you push the space bar, statistically speaking, asmany as 600,000 other people on earth did that at the exact same time that you did.
so, if you ever feel alone, just give yourselfsome space and know that more than half a million people are doing that exact same thing. and as always, thanks for watching.
