✖ Via TechRadar: “95% of user generated content ‘is spam’” by Marc Chacksfield, Feb. 8, 2010

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.
