 | According to Websence Security Labs the majority of what we see online and receive through email has links to spam and contains malicious code. In fact, 95 per cent of user generated content is generally spam or dangerous links and 85 per cent of emails sent are no more than 419 scams. |
Let’s do a quick recap :
1) 95% of user generated content ‘is spam’
2) About 95% of the human genome has at one time been designated as “junk” (Wikipedia with reference to Nature Reviews Genetics vol. 8 issue 8).
3) About 75% of the universe is dark energy, that is “a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space” (Wikipedia, with numerous references).
Things that appear to be missing (the missing mass problem), lost, wasted, rejected (such as junk mail) or unknown (junk DNA) sure seem to shape our lives in many ways.
