For the first time, the number of internet users are more than the half the number of total human population on the Earth
The latest data released by the United Nations (UN) on Friday (7/12) noted that currently there are 3.9 billion people or more than half of the world's population using the internet. This figure for the first time exceeds half the world's population. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Commission predicts that by the end of 2018 internet users will reach 51.2 percent worldwide.
"Until the end of 2018, internet users will pass more than 50% of total population. This figure represents important progress that is more inclusive for global users" chief Houlin Zhou said in an official statement. "Even so there are more people in the world who are still waiting for internet access to improve the digital economy."
Zhou said that technology helps business innovation so that nothing else relies on offline domains. ITU notes as reported by AFP, the highest growth of internet users comes from Africa. Continent of Black noted the growth of internet users reached 24.4 percent from 2.1 percent in the same period a year ago.
Developing countries also record significant internet users. Compared to 13 years ago which was only 7.7 percent, now there are 45.3 percent of people in developing countries exposed to the internet. The slowest and most stagnant growth is recorded from developed countries which only grew 51.3 percent to 80.9 percent of the population in 2005.
