摘要

Year-end is a time to look backward and forward. In terms of the Internet, looking backward gives us a clear view of the tremendous changes that have been taking place in our culture as a result of widespread access to the Net. Looking forward taps into the hopes and fears that visionaries have for the planet as a whole and the roles the Internet might play in realizing these dreams. Worldwide, access to the Net has grown more than 125 percent since 2000, with European users (28.4 percent) now slightly surpassing North American users (27.3 percent), according to InternetWorldStats.com. There's still a long way to go. Only 12.7 percent of the global population are Internet users compared with 68.3 percent of North Americans. The areas of the world with the lowest percentage of Internet users are Africa (1.4 percent), the Middle East (6.7 percent), Asia (7.1 percent), and Latin America/ Caribbean (10.3 percent). In the U.S., we've passed some significant Internet milestones. The Net has become the dominant information provider among the critical 18- to 24-year-old age group in the U.S., who are looking for a "what-I-want-when-I-want-it" medium, according to a study issued in April by the Online Publishers Association (OPA). The Internet has also become the dominant source of information for regular Internet users, according to findings of an Annenberg Center for the Digital Future study issued in late September. Increasingly, people are even watching TV and listening to radio on the Net.
