Brits are likely to share over 36,000 posts on average online in their lifetime

Brits will leave behind an online trail of 9,828 photos, 10,811 social media posts and 126 email addresses across their lifetime.

A study of 2,000 adults found more than a third (36 per cent) of our lives are now shared online, which will be viewable - even when we're no longer here.

Adults share an average of 276 posts on Instagram, 170 on Facebook and 141 tweets annually - amounting to 17,369, 10,680 and 8,911 collectively, over the average lifetime.
