Global Demographics
The Internet has exploded
worldwide. Internet traffic is doubling every one hundred days. The radio was
in existence for nearly thirty-eight years before it gathered fifty million
listeners. It took the television just thirteen years. For the World Wide Web,
it only took four years, and most of its users stem from the United States of
America. According to a report done by Matrix
Information and Directory Services, there is an estimated one hundred and two million
people worldwide that have access to the Internet today. By the year 2001, the
estimate is at an outstanding number of one hundred and twenty-seven million people around
the world to have readily access to the Internet. As of 1997, North America had
seventy-one percent of the global share of net households. Japan was in second place
with almost seven and a half percent of the global share. The West Indies and
Central America came in last place with each only owning two tenths of the global share of
Internet access.
