That brings to mind the story about the guy who always travelled by air with a bomb in his suitcase.
He had calculated the probability of there being a bomb on an airplane, and it wasn't low enough for comfort. However, the probability of there being TWO bombs on an airplane was low enough even for him.

The way that line is worded is very confusing and ambiguous, but I take that to mean either A) from now until 2022, the amount if IP traffic is going to be more than the last 32 years of internet activity combined or B) the total annual traffic in 2022 is going to be more than the last 32 years combined

The most shocking thing about that article IMO is that by 2022 40% of the global population still won't be internet users.
Quote: This rather startling prediction comes from network infrastructure specialist Cisco which reckons that by 2022, 60 percent of the global population will be internet users.
EDIT: oh crap, am I still allowed to quote the article like that or is the EU coming after me now??

Just to get this straight:
A private school that makes all its money by getting people to sign up for its IT training courses is saying that the world (which its staff don't go out into, obviously) will need (after about as long as it takes to take an IT training course) lots more people who have taken IT training courses.
Wanna bet that, coincidentally, the IT training that will be most needed is the IT training that is given in classes of theirs that nobody is signing up for.
Wow!
That's important news!
Anyone know where I can sign up for an IT course?

I like the 3; not 250,000 but 253,000!
(When peddling bullshit, you want precise, but not too precise, numbers. Picking an arbitrary date in the future also helps, just don't use 10 years since that would look fake.)

Amazon today announced AWS DeepRacer, a fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car that aims to help developers learn machine learning. Sadly, no Bob-ombs

And no replayability. Once it's learned how to drive, there's nothing left to do.
Especially in Italy, because once it's learned how to drive from an Italian, it'll only be good for the scrap heap.
There are lots of cheaper toys that are more fun.

Does a developer really want to be called a builder? AWS sure wants to use builder especially as it pitches itself as a master tool provider for enterprises. "Time to get busy, such a lot to do: building and fixing till it's good as new"

But can we fix it?
