population with internet access to pass 3bn next year.

It is said that by next year 2015 the current figure of 2.7 billion people that are currently online users who use the internet is said to increase hugely up to 3 billion. This is nearly half the worlds population. The figure is said to have increased due to the production of the mobile phone and tablet devices which are coming out. They are becoming increasingly more cheaper than ever with prices being as low as £99. This is all over the world. It is also estimated that by 2017 there will be around then nearly half of the population online with either a computer or phone maybe tablets that the amount would be increased to just over 3.7 billion online users.

• Currently 2.8 billion online users 
• estimated to increase to 3bn by 2015
• Estimated to increase to 3.7bn by 2017

I believe that the increase is due to infact technology becoming cheaper and cheaper. Most products are made from china where technology and parts are made cheaply aling side with the labour that they offer a t a very cheap price. This would mean that most of the world would soon be able to afford a communications device which will be able to connect to the internet which adds to the current amount of online users. I believe that by 2017 there will be well over more than 3.7bn users which will be online.
