Het internet is een in razend tempo ontwikkelend ‘ding’ dat als maar groter en groter wordt. Elke dag vechten de sociale netwerken om de aandacht en informtie van de gebruiker. Een hele economie is inmiddels ontstaan rondom onze browser-gewoonten. Hoe groot en hoe snel het allemaal gaat kun je in deze geanimeerde interactieve infographic zien. Gewoon op het plaatje klikken dan wordt het interactief 🙂
Een aardige passage uit de infograph is: ‘While the Internet has an amazing reach, it still has room to grow. While 71% of the people in developed countries are online, only 21% of those in developing countries have access so far. In spite of such regional disparities, the Internet continues to become faster and more affordable overall. As the number of users increases, so does the sheer amount of money, information and opinions exchanged online. When it comes to the Internet’s future, most specialists are optimistic: 64% of them believe the flow of information online will remain mostly free rather than falling under the control of powerful institutions and 81% believe the Internet will enhance human intelligence.’ Een zeer positieve kijk op de toekomst.
