1995 How many netizens

There are now around 2 billion internet users worldwide. 2000, the world has 361 million users. Go back and you will find that in 1995, fewer than 40 million users were in the world.

The current Internet user base is more than 50 times times the 1995

Facebook now has 15 times times as many users as the Internet in 1995.

The top five Internet users in 1995:

1. The United States (25 million)

2. Japan (2 million)

3. Germany (1.5 million)

4. Canada (1.2 million)

5. United Kingdom (1.1 million)

The top five countries with the largest number of Internet users are:

6. China (420 million)

7. The United States (239 million)

8. Japan (99 million)

9. India (81 million)

10. Brazil (76 million)

You should have noticed that there is only a small difference. The difference is small in the top countries and in the actual use of each country.

What about the number of sites?

Today, the entire network has 298 million Web sites (March 2011 Netcraft data). June 1995 was 23,500. You can calculate that the number of websites now is 12,681 times that of 1995.

So if you make a chart that looks like the Internet user on the map, you'll find that the 1995 data only occupies a small part.
