Try thinking back at the times before the smartphone was invented, when you most likely would ask your parents’ permission to go on the computer. Do you remember the first time you bought something online? How about the first time you used the smartphone to order take-away?
Back in 2002, only 12 years ago, each person used the internet in an average of 46 minutes every day, and with only 3 million websites to choose from worldwide, the time seems reasonable. As of 2012 that number was 5 times as big, with an average of 4 hours every day, and even in some geek-communities this number is a joke, easily doubling the amount of hours used on the internet every day, and with a whopping 555 billion websites (as of 2012) to choose from.
What have changed so much that we need to be online ¼ of the time that we are awake? Social Media. Social Medias have exploded the last 12 years and today the smartphone is mostly used to check Social Media. Whether it is 2 spare minutes or 60, the Social Media will keep most people linked to the screen. We can easily agree that Social media is not just a flash in the pan, social medias are here to stay.
Through the Social Medias we are able to share whatever we feel a need to talk about, there is not constrain to Social Media, it is everywhere! When sharing into cyberspace we share our concerns about matters, and therefor it is a good thing that the use of internet has increased.
