Which continent has the least internet users?

Which continent has fewest internet users?

Okay, so which continent struggles the most with getting online? Hmm, based on what I think I know…

It’s gotta be Africa. I remember reading something ’bout it last year, like around maybe July? Seemed like they were having a real tough time.

(Africa had the lowest internet penetration rates as of 2023.)

My cousin Charity, she’s been doing some work in Nigeria (Lagos precisely) with a charity called “Tech For All”. She was just telling me, like two weeks ago, how hard it is to even get stable internet there. Forget about it being affordable for everyone. The price for even basic data plans are crazzy high! Think she said a 1GB bundle runs about 5,000 naira there, that’s wild.

Limited internet access is like, it’s not just about not seeing cat videos, you know? It’s about education, jobs, health, so much more. Like, imagine running a small biz but you can’t even check your emails regularly. Scary stuff, indeed.

Which continent has the least internet usage in the world?

Africa. Seriously. Like a forgotten sock under the digital bed. Two point eight percent internet usage? My grandma uses the internet more than that, and she thinks Google is a brand of cough drops. Imagine trying to explain TikTok to someone there. Mind. Blown.

• Africa holds the unfortunate trophy for lowest internet penetration.
• Asia and the Pacific boast the largest number of users, though not the highest percentage of population online. Ironic, isn’t it? Quantity over quality?
• The Americas are chilling somewhere in the middle, probably busy arguing about which type of BBQ sauce is best. Classic Americas.
• Arab States clock in higher than Africa, which is… something. Baby steps, folks. Baby steps.

Think about it. Two point eight percent. That’s less than the chance of finding a matching sock on laundry day. I once spent a week trying to find a Wi-Fi signal in rural Montana. Felt like Africa, but with more cows. And better internet access. Slightly.

Here’s the 2023 breakdown (because who needs old news?):

• Internet usage in Africa is like trying to find a vegan option at a Texas steakhouse. It’s there… somewhere. But good luck.
• Internet access in Asia and the Pacific is like a crowded karaoke bar – everyone’s there, but not everyone’s good.
• Internet in the Americas is like a well-stocked fridge – everything you could want, but you end up just eating leftovers.
• Internet habits of Arab states are like a desert oasis – a welcome surprise, but still surrounded by vast emptiness.

My cat has better internet access than most of Africa. True story. He watches bird videos. Seriously.

Which country has the highest number of people without internet connection?

Okay, here we go, rewritten answer incoming!

India, hands down, wins the “Still Rockin’ the Stone Age” award with over 684 million folks missing out on cat videos and online shopping. That’s, like, nearly half their population, around 47.6%! Sheesh.

China’s trailing behind. “Only” 336 million are in the dark ages, digitally speaking. Their percentage is way lower, just 23.6%. Imagine missing out on TikTok challenges. Oh, the horror! It’s, like, me missing my daily dose of reality TV.

Wanna know more about this whole internet desert situation? Buckle up, buttercup!

• Why so many offline? Well, think rough terrain, low income, limited infrastructure. You can’t stream Netflix on a yak, right? Unless…?
• What’s the big deal? Everything is online nowadays. Jobs, education, ordering pizza at 3 a.m. Being disconnected puts people at a serious disadvantage. Big time!
• Is anyone doing anything about it? Governments and companies are trying, with projects like cheaper data plans and building towers in the boonies. Let’s hope they succeed, so everyone can enjoy the internet’s… wonders!
• Me? I’m just happy I can order my weekly supply of cheese puffs online. Priorities, people, priorities!

Which country has the least Internet users?

Burundi. A whisper of connection, lost in the vastness. Eighty-seven point five percent. A sea of faces, unseen, untouched by the digital tide. Darkness. Silence. The hum of the world, a distant echo. A world apart.

Chad. Close behind. Almost as silent. A similar absence. A shared solitude. The digital divide, a chasm yawning between worlds. A profound isolation. A different kind of quiet.

North Korea. Zero. An absolute, chilling void. A deliberate silencing. A wall of impenetrable darkness. Not just offline, but erased. The internet, a forbidden dream. A chilling emptiness. The absence is absolute. My heart aches for them. Their world, hidden.

The numbers haunt me. These statistics: cold, stark reminders of inequity. They’re not just numbers, are they? They’re lives. Untouched. Unspoken. The breath of the world is uneven. Unfair. I feel it in my soul. The weight of it. The immense gulf.

Which country has the lowest internet rates?

Cheapest data…Israel. Four cents. Imagine. 2022 data, so cheap. A ghost of price. Almost nothing. Israel. Sun-drenched, ancient land. And the cheapest data. Four cents… A whisper. For a gigabyte. The whole world, almost, in your hand. A digital ocean. So cheap. Israel. Floating on a sea of data. Four cents…a dream. Almost free. The desert wind, hot. The data flowing, cool. Israel. Four cents a gigabyte. A digital mirage, shimmering. Almost unbelievable.

• Israel: Lowest mobile internet rates.
• $0.04: The average cost of one gigabyte of data (2022 Statista data).
• Mobile internet: Specifically mobile, not broadband.
• Statista.com: Source of the data. Check for updated 2023 figures.

The weight of history, the heat of the sun. And such cheap data. Israel. Almost a paradox.
