You're not the only one spending a ridiculous amount of time watching YouTube videos or browsing Reddit.

A real-time infographic by PennyStocks shows what we're doing as we while away the hours online.

It's meant to show how quickly data is generated on the Internet. But really, it's an impressive display of our activity (and time wasting?) in the digital world.

Twitter accounts, Tumblr posts, emails sent and thousands of hours of video watched. The numbers keep climbing.

The chart also tells you how long you've been staring at it. So don't waste too much time.
