The given table provides extensive information regarding the use of the internet around the world. In a span of ten years, there was significant growth in internet usage as it increased approximately five-fold reaching a third of the world population.
According to the chart, in the case of the developed regions such as North America, Europe and Australia the rate of internet coverage far exceeds the 50 per cent mark. In particular, the North American region had the highest proportion of internet users per capita (up to 80 per cent), which is more than 270 million individuals. In the case of Australia and Europe, more than 60 per cent of the overall population is ensured with web access, which makes up almost half a billion individuals.
It is clear from the tabulated data that the developing regions like Latin America, Middle East, Asia and Africa have the smallest percentages of internet users, with less than a quarter of the population enjoying internet access. For instance, the regions of Latin America and Asia saw a surge in the number of internet users (200 million and more than 900 million respectively), with a third of the whole population having access to the net. As for the Middle East and Africa, these regions struggled with the lowest rates of internet coverage as less than a quarter of the population could access the world wide web.
Overall, as an underlying trend, the developing regions saw higher rates of growth in internet users, as opposed to the developed regions, which underwent lower rates of growth.
