Internet Use Home and Business
The Internet is today what electricity was back in the 1890s: recently invented, yet everyone now has it and makes daily use of it as a matter of regularity. People now could not imagine a world without electricity, although during times of natural disasters and power outages we are sometimes forced to go back to the old ways temporarily. Still, nobody wants to, and thankfully we don’t have to for long.
That’s about where we are right now with Internet usage in homes around the world, and in places of business as well. Everyone has become so reliant on the presence of a reliable Internet connection that we can’t go back to living without it. Even countries where you might be amazed at their Internet usage will surprise you. Have a look at the infographic below, outlining the history of Internet usage worldwide from about 1995 to 2009, and see for yourself. (click to make the image larger if you need to. Really good info! Enjoy.)
Good information but it would be nice if there were an updated version at least including 2010 usage. I think people would be surprised at the growth in that short period of time.
