The Global Internet


This graph from The New Scientist (click to enlarge) is sobering:
  • China has 253 million Internet users against the US' 220 million. So far, so good. The shocker is that only 19% of China has access to the Internet compared to 72% for the US. And the data are from 2008.
  • India? 60 million users with just 4% of the country online.
That's a lot of growth potential... The Internet of 2025 will be in Mandarin.
