The World’s Population Is Connected and Mobile: Meltwater
In an extensive survey of global digital demographics, media intelligence firm Meltwater reports that almost 98% of internet users (aged 16 to 64) have some kind of mobile phone (mostly smartphones) while almost 60% have some kind of PC or laptop. There’s growth in ownership YoY, but it’s single digits or less, arguably suggesting that the use of these devices has reached saturation point. 5.35 billion out of the global population of 8.08 billion are using the internet.
