Just how popular is the internet?

I though I would just do abit of research about the internet....on the internet to see if I could find figures etc determining how and when the internet is most used. Some of the things I found were:

- British adults now spend more time surfing the net than watching television, a survery found the average Briton spends 41.5 days a year on the internet compared to 37.5 days a year watching television. I think this reflects the changes in technology over the past few years.
- Men spend an average 172 minutes surfing the net compared to women, at just 156 minutes a day.
- In Britain, at least 24 million people have access to home internet.
- In Britain, people in London are most likely to spend te most time on the internet.
- Email is the most popular activity on the internet, with over 90% of internet users being active emailers.
- Only about 1/3 of internet users participate in online gaming.
- Asia has the largest percentage of internet users (38.7%) followed by Europe with 26.4%
- Between 2000 and 2007 the middle east and Africa hav seen the largest increase in internet users.
