Internet Penetration

Background Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection transmitted by Aedes aegypti and mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Since its re-introduction in 1986, Brazil has become a hotspot for dengue and has experienced yearly epidemics. As a notifiable infectious disease, Brazil uses a passive epidemiological surveillance system to collect and report cases; however, dengue burden is underestimated. Thus, Internet data streams may complement surveillance activities by providing real-time information in the face of reporting lags. Methods We analyzed 19 terms related to dengue using Google Health Trends (GHT), a free-Internet data-source, and compared it with weekly dengue incidence between 2011 to 2016. We correlated GHT data with dengue incidence at the national and state-level for Brazil while using the adjusted R squared statistic as primary outcome measure (0/1). We used survey data on Internet access and variables from the official census of 2010 to identif...

En 2008 se presentaron los primeros síntomas de la delicada recesión mundial que hoy enfrentamos –que estuvo muy lejos de ser un simple resfriado, pues exhibió la fragilidad de nuestra moneda e hizo añicos los buenos propósitos del presidente Felipe Calderón, quien definitivamente no podrá pasar a la historia de los años recientes como “el presidente del empleo”- .
No es posible especular sobre la duración y profundidad de la presente recesión. Sin embargo, dada la acentuada dependencia de nuestra economía con respecto de la economía estadounidense, solo es posible anticipar que la recuperación económica de México en buena medida dependerá de la pronta recuperación de la economía estadounidense. Ello, sin embargo, no será tan sencillo. Durante la administración de George Bush Jr., Estados Unidos contrajo un alarmante endeudamiento.
En los años recientes el sector telecomunicaciones se ha constituido como sector líder en la economía nacional, jugando un rol fundamental en el desarrollo del país, observando un crecimiento anual promedio dos y hasta seis veces superior al resto de nuestra economía.
El desarrollo de Internet ha observado un comportamiento relativamente similar al sector telecomunicaciones. Tanto en los indicadores generales como en materia de inversión publicitaria, es posible advertir el sostenido crecimiento de Internet, el cual, quizá a pesar de la gravedad de la recesión económica, por determinados factores políticos en 2009 podría alcanzar un incremento porcentual aún mayor sobre el crecimiento observado en años anteriores.

In a highly digitized society, internet use yields many advantages in everyday life. The share of non-users is dwindling but at the same time their disadvantages become increasingly severe. For more evidence-based public policies to mitigate the risks of digital exclusion, long-term results from representative surveys are needed. This article investigates how digital divides-social differences in internet adoption-evolved in Switzerland from 2011 to 2019. The results of multiple binary logistic regressions reveal that internet use remains stratified along existing social differences and non-use has become increasingly concentrated in traditionally disadvantaged societal groups. Lower income and lower educational attainment have consistently predicted internet non-use, and the age gap between users and non-users has increased. Gender did not influence internet adoption. The main self-reported reason for non-use was lack of interest. Being indirectly exposed to the internet through proxy use is a key enabling factor for internet use.

The far-reaching scope of internet has stemmed the upcoming of an age of readers who like to know news with just a click. Due to a renovation in news consumers from reading print newspapers to online news it is necessary to gauge the prospect of print newspapers. Print newspapers are now taking on advanced new media technologies to improvise their industrial presence and to keep up with emerging news distribution structures. In view of the above, alteration from customary print media to the online initiatives, this study focuses on the working professionals, who are major contributors in the development of Indian economy, it is essential to understand the inclinations of educated and an important section of news consumers. An important outcome of the study is that in spite of major internet revolution, print media along with online news is growing in circulation. Contrasting with the trend in Western countries, where the online news impact has been notable, with maximum people preferring to read print newspapers and online news, it is an altered situation here.

The purpose of this study was to apprehend the adaption to online newspaper reading with COVID-19 pandemic by focusing to staff members of Rajarata University of Sri Lanka. Online newspaper is the easiest and best way to get news today. Online newspaper facilitators create new path for online newspaper readers. During this pandemic time, people face different difficulties such as lockdown, travel restriction, quarantine or isolation etc. Thus, most of them are at home and do works under the work from home concept meantime demand for online news is also increased harshly. Literature survey revealed that there is a handful of studies done in Sri Lankan context related to the present study. Accordingly, data were collected from total population of 291 academic and nonacademic executive staff members in the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka. The collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques; reliability test, descriptive analysis, Andrew F. Hayes moderation process analysis, ...

The way news is disseminated has progressed over the ages. Human messengers, pigeons, print newspapers and now digital news-modes have changed, but the need to stay aware and updated with current events has remained important as ever. India, being the most diverse nation in the world, has various segments of news readers across age groups, region, occupation and literacy levels. People in each of these segments have different preferences for news content, and resort to different media to keep abreast of latest happenings. In this paper, a study has been conducted to study these differences in patterns of news and content consumption between millennials (aged 22-37) and baby boomers (45-60). The insights from this study might be of help to media houses to better understand the needs of readers belonging to the different segments.

As the world is getting further digitized it has become crucial to be up to date with current trends to ensure better survival. In fact, in order for organizations to survive among competitors, updating has become necessary. With this change an impact has been created upon almost every industry including the e-publishing industry, which found itself forced to adapt to the changes over the time period. Introduction of several new news apps and websites has even made the standardized newspapers rethink their publishing methods, and ultimately adopt e-publishing. This research paper analyzes the impact of web content usage among newspaper publications and also its impact on their business. Hence, this study is carried out among selective newspaper publications in UAE and also among selective readers group.

This empirical study aimed to investigate the effect of internet use on the demand for insurance using a sample of OECD countries during the period from 2007 to 2017. We employed a battery of panel data models, taking into account various unusual patterns, such as heterogeneity. This study contributes to the technological innovations and communication literature at different stages of the provision and development of life and non-life insurance activities. The empirical results show that internet use positively affects non-life insurance activities. This finding is well recognised by several estimated static and dynamic panel models. Conversely, the empirical investigation revealed no global impact of internet use on the demand for life insurance. Lastly, an assessment of traditional life insurance models demonstrated significant impacts of several socio-economic variables on the life insurance line of business.

Esta semana, Hootsuite y We Are Social dieron a conocer interesantes cifras sobre las dimensiones que observa el ecosistema digital en el cuarto trimestre de 2018.

La población mundial (octubre, 2018) fue estimada en 7 mil 655 millones de personas, de las cuales, 4 mil 176 millones son usuarios de Internet. Por ende, la penetración mundial de Internet fue establecida en 55 por ciento.

Entre julio y septiembre del año en curso, 68 millones de personas entraron en línea por primera vez. Tal cifra representa un incremento de 1,5 por ciento en tres meses. Ello representa un crecimiento similar al observado entre los meses de julio y septiembre de 2017.

Using desk research, quantitative approaches and other methods, this study aims at refreshing the previous research1 on the very same subject matter – namely, updating data related to Internet penetration and usage in Kosovo. In the course of this study, Internet usage and habits, and demographic Internet penetration based on households and users were studied. In addition, data on geographical Internet penetration was gathered and presented. The findings show that both rural and urban areas utilise Internet connectivity and its benefits. Further, this study reveals that Internet penetration in Kosovo is at satisfactory levels and can be compared to developed countries. Internet penetration based on households is 84.8%, Internet penetration based on users is 76.6%, and geographical Internet penetration shows that on regional roads there are, in average, 9 wireless networks per kilometre. There are various reasons for these levels of penetration, the main ones being Kosovo’s very young median population age who want to follow the latest global trends and Kosovo’s population living abroad who want to stay connected with their families and friends living in Kosovo. According to the findings of this study, most of user habits are comparable to global trends. Social networking and Internet voice communication services are mostly used by women, and this is also a global trend. Kosovars are most active in Facebook, being the main channel for reaching the widest user base. regardless of employment status and family income, Kosovars are a connected society at similar levels as developed countries. Further, the study concludes that there will be a slow down in further Internet penetration in Kosovo due to market maturity. This being the point in time when Kosovo’s institutions, companies, and other organizations will need to further advance general quality of service, e-governance, parental control, market regulation, and information society in general. The study provides additional information that can support the authorities, private sector, international organizations, and potential investors to make policies and decisions based on evidence. Finally, the report suggests that Kosovo’s institutions may wish to consider the establishment of the Ministry of Information Society.

El sábado 25 de marzo, la Internet World Stats (IWS) [http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm] publicó la más reciente actualización de sus estadísticas sobre la penetración mundial de Internet.

La IWS estimó la población mundial en 7,519,028,970 personas, de las cuales estimó 3,731,973,423 usuarios de Internet. A pesar de las considerables ganancias que ha generado la economía digital para algunas empresas, prevalece una amplia brecha digital en el planeta, pues la penetración mundial de Internet aún presenta una cifra deficitaria: 49.6 por ciento.

De acuerdo con lo asentado en el texto “EEUU. Publicidad digital supera a la TV este año”, disponible en https://www.emarketer.com/Article/US-Digital-Ad-Spending-Surpass-TV-this-Year/, realizado por la firma e-Marketer, en la Union Americana, este año la inversión publicitaria en internet superará por primera vez a la destinada a la televisión.

Según las estimaciones realizadas por los analistas de eMarketer, a finales del año en curso la inversión publicitaria destinada a internet ascenderá a 72,099 millones de dólares, mientras que la inversión publicitaria en televisión fue estimada en 71,290 millones de dólares.

La inversión publicitaria en Internet representará 36.8 por ciento del total de la inversion publicitaria en Estados Unidos, mientras que la inversión publicitaria en televisión representará 36.4%

De acuerdo con lo asentado en el Décimosegundo Estudio sobre los Hábitos de los Usuarios de Internet en México, investigación realizada por Elogia e Infotec para la Asociación Mexicana de Internet (AMIPCI), el total de internautas en el país fue estimado en 65 millones y la penetración de Internet fue establecida en 59 por ciento. 

Las fuentes de tales cifras –así se informa en la pantalla “Dimensionamiento” en el citado estudio- fueron el Consejo Nacional de Población (Conapo) y el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (Inegi).

Desafortunadamente en el mencionado estudio no se reporta cuál fue el universo considerado. Si tomamos como universo la población total en el territorio nacional que estimó el Consejo Nacional de Población (Conapo) en julio de 2015: 121 millones 5,815 personas, el dato relativo a la penetración de Internet  en México es 53.72 por ciento y no 59 por ciento como reportó la AMIPCI.

El martes 17, en el marco de las celebraciones del Día Mundial de las Telecomunicaciones y la Sociedad de la Información, la Asociación Mexicana de Internet (AMIPCI) dio a conocer los resultados que arrojó el Duodécimo Estudio sobre los Hábitos de los Usuarios de Internet en México 2016. De acuerdo con lo asentado en el referido estudio –disponible en https://www.amipci.org.mx/images/Estudio_Habitosdel_Usuario_2016.pdf-, la penetración de Internet en México fue estimada en 65 millones. La penetración de Internet en México fue estimada en 59 por ciento.

Resumen

En este texto fueron consultados los principales estudios sobre Internet en México para recuperar la información que ofrecen sobre la penetración de Internet en los jóvenes mexicanos, y el uso de las redes sociales. Los cuatro estudios consultados fueron: 1) Encuesta sobre disponibilidad y uso de las tecnologías de la información (MODUTIH) 2013, realizada por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI); 2) Décimo estudio sobre los hábitos de los usuarios de Internet en México 2014, de la Asociación Mexicana de Internet (AMIPCI); 3) Estudio 2013 de hábitos y percepciones de los mexicanos sobre Internet y diversas tecnologías asociadas, realizado por el World Internet Project México (WIP México); 4) Estudio de consumo de Medios entre internautas mexicanos, de la Interactive Advertising Bureau México (IAB México). Además fue consultado el estudio MKTdigital y redes sociales en México 2013, realizado por la AMIPCI.
De acuerdo con Wikipedia1, la juventud (del latín iuventus):“es la edad que se sitúa entre la infancia y la edad adulta. Según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, la juventud comprende el rango de edad entre los 10 y los 24 años; abarca la pubertad o adolescencia -de 10 a 14 años-, la adolescencia media o tardía -de 15 a 19 años- y la juventud plena -de 20 a 24 años-”.A pesar de que casi la mitad de los internautas mexicanos son jóvenes entre 12 y 24 años (44.5% según INEGI) y entre 13 y 24 años (45% según AMIPCI), la información que ofrecen los estudios consultados sobre la penetración de Internet en jóvenes mexicanos y el uso de redes sociales, efectivamente admite ser considerada limitada.

Abstract
In this text I consulted the major studies on Internet in Mexico to retrieve the information offered about the Internet penetration in Mexican youth and the use of social networks.The four studies consulted were: 1) .- Survey on availability and use of information technology (MODUTIH) 2013, conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI); 2) .- Tenth study on the habits of Internet users in Mexico 2014, the Mexican Internet Association (AMIPCI); 3) .- 2013 study habits and perceptions of Mexicans over the Internet and various related technologies, conducted by the Mexico World Internet Project (WIP Mexico); 4) .- Study of Media consumption among Mexican Internet, the Interactive Advertising Bureau Mexico (IAB Mexico).Also was consulted on MKTdigital study and social networks in Mexico 2013, conducted by the AMIPCI.
According to Wikipedia, youth (Latin iuventus) “is the age that is between childhood and adulthood. According to the United Nations, youth includes the age range between 10 and 24 years; covers puberty or adolescence-from 10-14 years, middle adolescence or late-from 15-19 years and -of his youth 20-24 years “.Although almost half of Mexican Internet users are young people between 12 and 24 years (44.5% according to INEGI) and between 13 and 24 years (45% according AMIPCI), information provided by the studies consulted on Internet penetration Mexican youth and the use of social networks, effectively admits to be considered limited.

El viernes 16 de mayo, la Asociación Mexicana de Internet (AMIPCI), a través del maestro Sergio Carrera, quien preside la Comisión de Investigación de AMIPCI, dio a conocer los resultados que arrojó el Décimo estudio sobre los hábitos de Internet en México 2014, el cual fue realizado, como en años anteriores, por la empresa Elogia.
