Users around the world

Last class we talked about what kind of internet users there are. there are huge differences between the age, the sex and especially the different countries. Young women use the internet very often and they participate more than men. Those often just are passive internet users and they like to watch whatildren.d ch is going on on the internet. In the US a lot of older people started using the internet to stay in touch with their family members, especially their grand children.
To find out more about users around the world, I found this page http://www.internetworldstats.com/top20.htm which shows how the internet is used around the world. I think it is not surprisng that the US and China have the first two places when it comes to percentage of internet user worldwide but I did not think that there have such a big margin to the others. On sixth place is Germany, the country with most internet users in Europe. It is also shown that the 20 TOP countries have almost 80% of the world percentage of internet user.
We should always remember that not all the people in the other countries have the possibility to use the internet. We should appreciate that we have the chance to be on-line every day!
