Hey there shoppers,
While surfing the web today I was looking for articles on global aspects of the internet. I have to over the course of this semester find articles that pertain to this topic for class. The article I found is about World Internet Users and is as recent as December 2007. According to this site, North America only makes up 18.0% of the worlds use. I personally find this interesting because I feel like everyone in the United States is surfing the web, and for people like me its looking at websites with clothing and other sorts of retail. What I also found interesting about this article is that less people in Australia use the internet than in Africa, Africa exceeding Australia by 3.4% to their 1.5%. No matter how many people are surfing the web globally it is true that email, websites, and other things on the web connect people to things and places faster than any other way!
Until next time, keep shopping!
