The world wide web still isnt all that worldwide: 4.4 billion people around the world still don’t have Internet The sheer number of people unconnected in some countries is staggering. India is home to nearly a quarter of the worlds offline population; China houses more than 730 million; Indonesia 210 million; Bangladesh almost 150 million; and Brazil nearly 100 million. Even in the United States, 50 million people dont use the Internet. But adjusting for size, and instead looking at the percentage of people in certain countries that still arent connected to Internet, shows that quite a few places have very little internet penetration at all. In Myanmar, 99.5 percent of the population is offline; in Ethiopia, almost 98 percent; in Tanzania, more than 95 percent; and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, just under 95 percent.
