I last shared this on Google+ two years ago. It was time to
share it again How long is a billionth of a second? 11.8 inches
long.
(that's a nanosecond)
How long is a microsecond?
984 feet long.
So if you are ever doing programming and you are wasting
microseconds (ms) - you'll know just how much you're wasting.
These aren't theoretical - this is reality. And it's pretty
cool.
