Just days ago, we published a new statistic in 2012 on the blog’s Facebook page Computer Programs, as follows:
“A new statistic conducted by pingdom website showed that there are 8 new internet users every second, 474 users per minute, 28476 per hour, and 683443 per day. According to these statistics, there are approximately 2.3 billion internet users, which is equivalent to 32.7% of the world’s population.”
Inshallah, there will be more statistics and reports in 2012 regularly, and let us wait until the end of the year to see what the internet statistics for 2012 will be, which are expected to be multiples of these numbers. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the internet in our Arab world. We are now talking about numbers in millions and billions, but what about the future? Let’s leave this question to think about until the end of the current year.
