Brits will leave a massive online trail behind them within 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%) 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.
