Domo
unveiled its annually anticipated 12th edition of Data
Never Sleeps, offering a unique snapshot of how digital habits manifest
themselves minute by minute. The report shows the world's internet
population has reached a record high of 5.52B people and uncovers signs
that AI may be unseating digital juggernauts as it brings in new forms
of engagement. From streaming and shopping to the digital workplace,
this year's infographic captures the immense volume of data generated

continues to shape our daily lives.
"The phenomenal acceleration of generative AI over the past two years
has dominated the digital conversation, and this year's Data Never
Sleeps shows how we've reached a new tipping point - AI is primed to
dethrone competitive mainstays of the internet era," said Josh James,
founder and CEO of Domo. "In the year ahead, we'll be watching how this
shift changes our broad range of digital activity, impacts the
competitive landscape, and accelerates corporate investment in AI-ready
data and tech."

timeframe, reflecting the growing role of AI in simplifying everyday
tasks.
Entertainment Ebbs and Flows: Since 2021, the number of Netflix
