🏆 How Prize Money Will Be Distributed At The World Cup
While the 32 teams involved in the FIFA World Cup will be aiming to go as far as possible and achieve success on the pitch, they will also be battling for a sizeable pot of prize money. Late last year, FIFA announced the amount of prize money available for the tournament in Russia and it's at record levels once again. Excluding the Club Benefit and Protection Programmes, prize money this year stands at $400 million, an increase on 2014's $358 million.
The following infographic provides an overview of how the performance-based prize money will be distributed. When Germany won the trophy in 2014, it was awarded $35 million. This year, the eventual winner in Russia will receive even more, $38 million. The runner-up will get $28 million while third place will receive $24 million.

☠️ Music Piracy is Down More than 50% since 2013
Due to investments by DiMA’s members in creating licensed digital music services, consumers are able to legally access creative works with more ease than ever before.
Back in 2013, shortly after #Spotify’s launch in the US, music P2P penetration stood at 9.8 percent. At the end of 2017 streaming music revenues were four times larger than in 2013, while P2P penetration was less than half of its 2013 rate. Quite simply, streaming is taking away most of the incentive for piracy, pushing piracy to the margins.

🌐 Social Media Use in Developing & Developed Countries
Internet and social media use shows no growth in advanced economies but continues to rise in emerging and developing countries.
In recent years, there have been doubts raised about the overall benefits of internet access and #SocialMedia use. Concerns or no, the share of people who use the internet or own a smartphone continues to expand in the developing world and remains high in developed nations. When it comes to social media use, people in emerging and developing markets are fast approaching levels seen in more advanced economies. In addition, as people in advanced economies reach the upper bounds of internet penetration, the digital divide continues to narrow between wealthy and developing countries.

📱 vs 📺 Mobile Soon to Pass TV in Time Spent
But IoT could one day soon capture some of those mobile minutes
Americans are spending less time with most major media, with one major exception: #smartphones.
In 2018, adults will still dedicate more time per day to #TV—nearly 3 hours, 50 minutes—than to any other medium, but TV time is shrinking, down from 4 hours, 37 minutes in 2012. #Mobile time will increase to 3 hours, 35 minutes in 2018, and by 2019 mobile will be the new leader in time spent, with 3 hours, 43 minutes of engagement vs. TV’s 3 hours, 42 minutes.

Time innovations needed for 50 million users (in years)
When #PokemonGo got released, it took only 19 days until 50 million people to started running around the streets blind.
When in 1909 Ferdinand Count of Zeppelin laid out parts of the foundation for todays interconnected world by founding the very first airline, it took 64 years for the same amount of people to use this innovation.
The impact an innovation has on humankind is quite irrelevant for how fast it gets picked up by people. More important is the ever-extending interconnection of our world.
