Back of a napkin math, basic assumptions:
- 80 years lifespan
- 3 billions daily users of Apple / Google / Microsoft / tech in general

24 * 60 * 60 = 86,400 seconds per day
365 * 86400 = 31,536,000 seconds per year
80 * 31,536,000 = 2,522,880,000 seconds per lifetime
5 * 60 * 3,000,000,000 (3b people) = 900,000,000,000 (900b) seconds saved each day
That is 356.7 lifetimes every day.
