Technology Transfer and Assistance to The 3rd World
The internet, WWW and World Wide Web are ubiquitous terms that are everywhere. According to the Harris Poll:
More Than One-Third of Internet Users Now Have Broadband (January 2004)
146 million (69%) adults in U.S. are now online; 37% of them have broadband connections
The numbers of adults who are online at home, in the office, at school, library or other location continue to grow at a modest rate. Broadband use is growing much more rapidly.
In research among 2,033 adults surveyed by telephone in November and December 2003, Harris Interactive® found that 69% of adults are now online, up from 67% in late 2002, 64% in late 2001, 63% in 2000 and 56% in 1999. When we first began to track Internet use in 1995, only 9% of adults reported they were online.
