Surprise!

In the middle of some heavy internet procrastination, I became suddenly curious about the number of internet users in the world.

So as any half-wit internet user would do, I did a quick internet search of what I thought would pull up some quick and accurate results.

Google: "American Internet Users"

and the number one results come up as www.google.com/publicdata

The data from this website is pulled from World bank which in turn is supported by google.

The format allows you to select which countries you would like to see for internet usage.

So I picked the top three economies in the world: US, China, and Japan

and Canada and the world for good measure


The results were quite surprising.

Not so much for china and the world....but to see that America, Japan and Canada, highly developed countries, have only 75% of their population as Internet users.

I was under the impression that everyone in Canada or America had access to the internet in their homes, saving a small percentage located in very remote locations....but I highly doubt 25% of the American population lives in remote areas.

Surprising.
