Tonight’s “By the Numbers” post focuses on something a bit more macro than the rest. I recently had to write a piece about internet usage and needed to find out how many people used the internet. That got me thinking that we often look at individual websites and platforms here, but I’ve never taken a step back and explored the framework that makes all of this possible.

Here are the most interesting internet usage statistics I was able to dig up including how many people actually use the internet and how many don’t.

As always, I will be updating this post often, so be sure to check back in the future for updated and new stats.

This contains all the internet statistics I have been able to dig up over the years; 50+ of them including stats on:

Global internet usage stats
US internet usage stats
India internet usage stats
China internet usage stats
Etc.- all in one place

I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others, so some of these are based on studies and surveys of varying sizes. In other words: This is the best I can find, but I don’t guarantee anything.
