More than half of the planet's population is already connected to the Internet

Internet is now something natural and we took for granted. At any time and anywhere, we have access to the largest network of knowledge and information on the planet.

It has increased over the years and now a step has been taken. More than half of the planet's population is already connected to the Internet.

The evaluation of Internet use has been used in recent years to quantify the progress of civilization. It is clear that there are privileged areas and that this access is taken for granted, in others it is still a luxury property.
Half of the planet is connected to the Internet
The latest data from Internet Trends, created by Bond Capital, show that more than half of the planet's population is already connected to the Internet. This figure is very important and shows that access to all the information that it provides is becoming more and more democratized.
According to the 2019 edition of this study, 51% of the land population already have access to the Internet. This number represents 3.8 billion people. The number of 2019 shows an increase of 2% compared to 2017.

53% of Internet users are in Asia-Pacific, 15% in Europe, 13% in Africa and the Middle East, 10% in Latin America and the Caribbean and 9% in North America. China accounts for 21% of users, India 12% and the United States 8%. These countries are followed by Indonesia, Brazil, Japan, Russia and Mexico.
Mobile devices dominate in this access
As could be expected, one of the main forms of Internet access in the world is mobile telephony. The decline in global sales is reflected in call growth, which decreased by approximately 6% in 2018.
Although after a strong period of use, the growth rate of social networks has decreased. This was motivated by security issues and problematic content. These continue to affect the behavior of users and increasingly their position vis-à-vis these virtual spaces.

Security is becoming more of a requirement
Another impressive finding is that 87% of global Internet traffic has circulated in the first quarter of this year. This is of significant value, especially compared to 53% in the first quarter of 2016. This reflects a growing concern for the protection of your communications and network data.
The report also states that consumers are worried about avoiding the Internet. For this, they began to take steps to reduce its use. The study of Bond Capital reveals even more, focusing on other areas, advertising time spent on music sites or videos.
