[...] European Commission: 1/3 of EU citizens have never used the web Close to half of Europeans use the internet every day but one third have never used the web, according to a new report (PDF) published by the European Commission. The study, which took a deep dive into the digital landscape in Europe over the last five years, demonstrated that new technologies are spreading fast across the continent but deep divisions remain and that particularly the elder and unemployed remain largely unaware of the existence of websites such as TechCrunch and FAILblog.org.

The statistics are an indicator of how addictive the web is.

Basically, if you use it once you use it always.

i was just thinking about something like this actually after reading the posts from carr and arrington on the new media models, and i’ve read on some other websites that tc is mainstream (i was thinking about how news is dead and emerging in new formats and how msm outlets are not doing themselves a service) and thought about how i live in the larget city in my country and lol that not a lot of people…not even anywhere close to 1/4 of them know what TC is, but i bet if you ask them about FB they do because we’re one of the FB capitals of the world. i mean mainstream is relative to everyone. i don’t know what is going on in europe although i can probably imagine…but i can tell you that more than 1/2 of people in my country don’t know what TC is or failblog even. people use the intenet yeah, but they don’t use the internet for instant how i or you use the internet. what surprises me is that my cousins back home in africa probably know more about/use the internet (even with their limited connections, but the mobiles are really popular there) and might know tc or failblog more than the people i know here in a western country and a large city. it’s just people’s behaviours. i’ve known about tc for a couple of years, i’ve read about it…just like i knew about 4chan for a long time, but i’ve just actually found my way onto this website maybe a month ago, and it was all because i clicked on a link. lol. i can know about something limitedly and not visit that website just because. what was included in the questionnaire/survey.

Hilarious that we have a whiny little Englishman complaining about Brussels and spouting complete rubbish:

“maybe that’s why Europe has been left behind by the rest of world”

Rrrright.

Reminder: Britain applied REPEATEDLY to join the EU and your parliament which you elected has signed up to European laws over and over again. If you don’t like it LEAVE.

you seem to be english, can you tell us how much you pay for your net, and what you get for it?
I mean, what you REALLY get for it, not the theoretical speed nor the theoretical “unlimited” that everyone knows are bullshit in the UK, which is NOT the case in the rest of Europe (no throttling, and the speeds are not the capacity of your line, but what the provider’s pipes can really give YOU, even at peak time)

Just to understand how much better UK is with its own love of innovation

well, actually, about being left behind, in continental Europe, you generally pay about $40 a month for an unlimited broadband connection that includes:
- unlimited (REALLY unlimited, not the false UK or US unlimited) downloads and uploads,
- a speed of 20 to 30Mbps (compared to 2 to 3 in many places in the US for that kind of price) (and yes that’s the real speed)
- free phone to about 70 countries in the world
- about 100 TV channels (and possibility to of course subscribe to lots more for lots of money )
- oh, and that’s negligible, but you don’t pay for the connexion equipment

Talk about being left behind. Only Japan does better, and in only one respect, raw speed, and that’s useless because the allowed uploads/downloads are such that at full speed you have only one hour or so every month before reaching your quota.

Get your facts.

In France with have “Boxes” with quadruple play offer :
For 40 euros per month you get :
20 megas broadband + more than 120 TV channels (with HD) + Hard Drive recorder + National and international unlimited calls + 2 hours of Celular calls.

That’s very cool !

If this study mixes all the European countries, that’s stupid, the difference between west and east is big.

I use web everyday but never heard about failblog.org until today. What’s so important about that website – the design is horrible.
