From Mary Meeker of KCPB
Internet usage growth is slowing
The growth is slowing with about 40% of the world with full internet access at home. Nearly 3/4 of us have access from mobile phones, but only about 3 billion of that 5.2 billion number have smartphones. That's just a bit more than the 2.8 billion users who have full internet access.
and the US Dollar leads the web
11 of the 15 biggest internet companies are American. The other 4 are from China.
but Asia is growing the fastest
Internet Growth
China Users = +7%, USA = +2%, India = +33%, Japan = Flat, Brazil = +4%
Smartphones
China Subs = +21%, USA = +9%, India = +55%, Japan = +5%, Brazil = +28
China is close to surpassing the US in percentage of the global GDP.

Government, Healthcare, And Education Are Huge Opportunities

Still the workplace moves forward online, and becomes global
Service jobs are replacing goods producing jobs, with cognitive jobs growing the fastest. More people than ever work remotely with flexible hours. Consumers expect instant response, so businesses are open 24 hours. Which reminds me, I've got work to do. It's 9 AM somewhere!
