The WWW took 4 years to reach 50 million users whereas, the
telephone took 74, the radio took 38, PC took 16 and the television took 13.
This shows the impact of the internet in the modern generation and how quickly
it has grown when compared to the others.
(Figure 1)
The graph shows that in recent years, 2009 onwards, the internet
took over the newspaper becoming the 2nd most popular medium in
supplying the news to the public. Figure 1 shows the fluctuation of both
Internet and newspaper, the key difference is that the internet was on the rise
whereas, the newspaper was decreasing. From 2009 the Internet took over the
newspaper and seems to still be on the rise, how long before it takes over
television?
These results show that is the mainly the younger generation
which is using the internet. This shows
that 93% of all Teens aged from 12-17 are using the inter, 93% of all people
aged between 18-29 are online, 81% of all people aged between 30-49 are online,
70% of all people aged between 50-64 are online and only 38% of people aged 65+
are online. These figures are from 2009 and surely since then the percentage of
both teens and young adults could’ve only gone up? So how close to 100% are we
in 2012?
