Roughly 40 percent of the world's population will be regular Internet users by the end of the year.
In a new study from the United Nations International Telecommunications Union, the Internet will reach 3 billion users in 2014. About 66-percent of those users will come from developing countries, an awesome achievement considering what the Internet can do for their economies and education. And the study doesn't count people who merely have access to the web but never go on: researchers only counted people who have used it sometime in the last three months. The report found that in developed countries like America, the amount of Internet users has hit a peak, while much growth has come from developing countries. Every two out of three people in the Americas will use the Internet by the end of year, compared to three out of four in Europe and one in five in Africa.
Welcome to the Internet, people.
