Only 1.6 Billion People Use The Internet out of 7 Billion People on the Planet

I use the word "only" because that doesn't even amount to half of the nearly 7 billion people on this planet. In fact, it calculates to about 24.7% of the world's population. Granted, many are babies and many are elderly - but many of the people who don't use the Internet are able-bodied individuals just like you. They simply don't have the resources to connect online. Interestingly enough, InternetWorldStats.com reports that between the year 2000 and 2009, Internet usage grew at a rate of 362.3%.

What does this mean for you? It means that more Internet users are coming, and by the hundreds of millions. At that rate of growth, the number of people using the Internet could easily double in just 10-15 years or less. Now is the time to start planning for this. Millions of new potential customers will soon be within your reach. Also, now is the time to consider pursuing international business opportunities. The Internet makes it extremely easy to conduct business in other countries without ever leaving your home.

What you should do exactly, depends greatly on what products and services your company offers. I would start with daily sessions of brainstorming and blueprinting.

Thank you Sister Jen. Slowly but surely I am making progress. It is a long-term project, and of course my interest is educational rather than commercial. I will keep you updated.

There are 21 distinct civilizations or should I say socio-economic matrixes. Not all of them require digital technology in order to function. A laptop means nothing to an Eskimo nor does a cellphone. There are tribes of people living in remote cut off places and they have nor use or time for such inventions that mean dear to us.

Western Civilization dominates the minds of most whom are stuck believing it's the only way to live. Once you denouce it's there are other ways and you build them yourself you become disconnected from this one. So you will have no need for it's tools.
