SAN FRANCISCO - Intel officials say the number of Internet-connected devices will nearly quadruple in the next four years. Plus, there was also more data sent across the internet last year than there was in all the previous years put together.

Intel experts say there are 4 billion Internet devices around the world. They think that number could increase to 15 billion by 2015 and 50 billion by 2020.

Servers and computers have a tough road ahead. Considering 48 hours of YouTube videos are uploaded each minute. 200 million tweets are sent every day, and 7.5 billion photos uploaded to Facebook each month.
