Timing:

In a www survey conducted by GUV in 1995, internet connection speed at 14 kb/s had the highest percentage with 33.7%, 32.72%, 22.95% in general part of the world, U.S, and europe respectively. In other words, the most common connection speed is 14 Kb/sec (33.70%) followed by 28 Kb/sec (26.63%). In year 1998, the same survey resulted in 31.4% for connection speed at 56 Kb/sec. This fact however has shown how internet technology has grown rapidly within three years.

In terms of internet usage, internet user has grown from 16 million (0.39% of world population) in December 1995 to 580.78 million (9.75% of world population) in May 2002. Those data are based upon research from Nua Ltd. and IDC respectively. This means internet user had grown 35.3% in seven years from 1995 to 2002. Therefore, in year 2020 we might expect internet will overwhelmingly used by people and become a backbone of human's technology civilization.
