When was the last time you used the Internet? Most likely, it was just recently! And you, 1) probably sent emails, not letters, right?
In the early days of the Internet in the 1970s and 80s, it was in fact only used by scientists and military 2) researchers, but in the 1990s its 3) popularity flared up like they had never seen before. To show it to everyone, it took 38 years on the radio until it reaches 50 million 4) users, 13 years on television and only 5 more years on the Internet!
Many of us already use the Internet to make phone calls, watch movies, buy music and watch television programs. Very soon, the Internet will become 3D, not 2D, and everything from our cars to our kitchen utensils will be connected to our local network. There is already an Internet refrigerator, for example, it sends 5) an order to a local supermarket and checks the schedule for a convenient time 6) delivery!
However, not everyone has access to technology. In fact, only 17% 7) the world's population is connected to the network. This figure depends on where you live, although in North America the number is about 70%. In addition, about 80% of all websites are in English, which many people in the world do not speak. However, governments and IT 8) institutions are making every effort to bridge this gap, so perhaps in the not too distant future, the Internet will truly take over the whole world!
