I learned a few years ago from some DEFCON video[0] that someone had figured out a way to do a (basic) port scan of the whole internet in ~1 day (or something like that).

Thing is... it really shouldn't have been that surprising. Although network latency isn't getting that much better year by year (c = c), the amount of data you can process in bulk, correlate, etc. is ever-increasing.
