The most popular TLDs, with the amount of registered domain names:

.com 149,440,358
.tk26,621,459
.cn16,152,839
.de14,923,770
.net13,249,816
.org10,245,184
.uk10,231,591
.icu5,657,577
.ga5,500,532
.nl5,305,298
.cf4,883,818
.ru4,859,397
.ml4,439,191
Having .com as the most popular top-level domain is not surprising, but some of the runner-ups are. How often do you visit an .icu domain? Or .ga or .cf or .ml?

(Data source: @DomainTools)
These seem to be the least popular of the new top-level domains. I don't think any of them have made their investment back. TLDs with number of active domains:

.guitars 804
.rodeo 756
.tickets 806
.memorial 626
.hiphop 500
.rugby 332
.makeup 223
I missed .lotto; they have sold only 64 domain names so far.

According to pretty scientific poll, 70% of my followers still have magnetic stripes in their credit cards—which is technology from the 1970s! Here's a short thread about some of the similar encoding systems that are all around us.
Nowadays, barcodes can be found in nearly every product we buy in stores. Developed in the 1950s, barcodes were originally based on the Morse code.
The square-shaped QR codes were invented in the 1990s. The Japanese spare parts manufacturer, Denso Wave, developed the quick response (QR) code for marking spare parts packages in 1994. Pictured: Masahiro Hara of Denso Wave.

China is rising as an online superpower, a thread:
The Internet has been firmly controlled by the United States. People around the world use services—such as search engines, cloud services, and social media services—built in the United States.
