  3. Would the “slow down” in the 2020’s be attributed to the pandemic?

  4. Do people who use the internet consecutively gets counted more than once? 

  6. I don’t know about you guys, but it’s certainly been at least 3 months for me since my last internet usage.

    This was the first thing I’ve seen after powering on my computer for the first time in months. I am writing this comment, and then powering back off.

  8. it would be interesting to see who and where the 1.6 billion who did not have access to the internet.

  9. WILD to me that 2.5 billion people still haven’t used the internet in the last 3 months
