Usage Of The Internet And How Much Time People Truly Spend On It

May 20, 2019

20 December 1990 marks one of the best days in human history. It was the day when the world’s first website went live, the beginning of the world wide web. It went live from the physics lab CERN in Switzerland.

After this day, the whole concept of data keeping, communication and learning changed. Today even the idea of a world without the internet seems weird to everyone. It is literally a part of every office, home, and business. It can help you to learn about present news, historical moments and sometimes even the upcoming report like future disasters.

Have a look at the role internet plays in today’s world.

The Usages of Internet

According to the studies, there were over 3.5 billion internet users in the world by 2016. China alone had 721 million internet users and was the largest internet market in the world. However, new internet technologies like the fiber optic internet connection further raise the number of internet users. The number of internet users jumped to approximately 48.56 billion the next year and is still rising.

Let’s have a look at the various uses of the internet.

Social Media

The social media application like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter has become an effective way of sharing your life experiences and staying connected with the world. There were approximately 2.46 billion social media users in the world by 2017. In that year, an average user spent over 135 minutes on social media per day.

Education

The internet is the most extensive collection of information. You can find anything from the big bang theory to the latest development in robotics with just one click. The students are using this data to help them understand the latest trends. Some college also provides distance learning and online graduate programs.

As for the non-student categories, they use the internet to keep a check on the market trends. It let them know about the market requirement, opportunities, and growing businesses.

Gaming

With the rise of fiber optic internet and other fast internet connections, the trend of multiplayer games has also increased. The players connect to each other, form a team and then spend a lot of time chatting and gaming together.

In a study of 3000 consumers of age 18, and older, the surveyors found that the gamers spend over 6-hour gaming per week. The global internet usage due to games is approximately 5.96 and still increasing

Shopping

The trend of visiting the market for buying a product from your home has almost vanished with the internet. Now you can get anything from a dress to online grocery within a click. There are famous websites like Amazon, eBay and more that can provide quality goods delivered to your location in no time. In fact, the ecommerce is making about 10% of the total retail market of the United States. About 69% of Americans have used these sites on one occasion or the other.

The Final Words

Apart from these uses the internet is also an option for freelancing businesses, movies, calling, audio/video streaming, and more.

Long story short, it’s the thing that is making people stay connected and close, no matter where in the world they are living. So, upgrade your internet to a high-speed connection and keep exploring the wonders of the internet.
