There are still 4.4 billion people on Earth who don’t have access to the Internet

A report shows that there are still 4.4 billion people on the earth who cannot access the Internet. The report was written by the famous consulting firm McKinsey and Company. The report said that among the more than 7 billion people in the world today, more than half of them cannot access the Internet. In 2014, the number of Internet users with Internet access reached 1.8 billion.

The report points out that the main factors that prevent people from going online are high costs, insufficient ability to use digital media and inadequate network infrastructure. But another reason is the lack of incentive to go online, and some people do not go online even if they can.

In the United States, a study by the Pew Research Center found that most Americans who do not use the Internet believe that the Internet has nothing to do with them or find it too difficult to use the Internet.

This is a surprising number. While we are all suffering from Internet addiction, there are still so many people in the world who are not connected to the Internet and are living well.
