New technologies are one of the main industries in the XXIst century. In a worldwide world, our scholars interacted in several activities in the net, particularly in Social Media where its expansion is truly electrifying. But it isn't a regular average.
A December 2011 study developed by Eurostat, a statistical bureau from the EU Union, pointed to the fact that almost one of each 4 EU Community citizens (27 members) never had used web. These data, that seem dreadful, need a bit complicated analysis.
2006 - 2011 An enormous advance
From these years folks who hadn't web access at home decreased from 42% of the people till 24%. Here we can see a good step to digitalization, but if we seek a bit more we can see that 45% of Bulgarian household net access rates but 94% of Dutch ones.
Leaders in Europe
In 2011 there were important data by states. The Netherlands (95%), Luxemburg and Sweden (91%), and Denmark (90%) are at the top of the share. In the other hand Bulgaria (45%), Romania (47%) and Greece (50%) are at the base of the list.
USA versus Europe: USA wins
NCTA declared that Cable High Speed Internet Availability to U.S. Homes (June 2011) was 93%, that is, 124,8 million folk, like we are able to see in theNCTA research of SNL Kagan and Census Bureau guesstimates. The contrast with Europe is important. Sweden (86%), Denmark (94%), The Netherlands and Great Britain (83%) and Finland (81%) registered the highest share of broadband connections in 2011, and every one of them were a great distance from the United States.
We're not talking about Romania (31%), Bulgaria (40%) and Greece (45%) that had the lowest averages, but the highest scores.
What about the use?
It is also major. Eurostat afirms that in 2011, the highest proportions of folks that had never utilised the net were noted in Romania (54% of people aged 16-74), Bulgaria (46%), Greece (45%), Cyprus and Portugal (both 41%). Programms like "formacion subvencionada" in Spain (free courses for workers) had discreet success.
Is Europe losing the race against the United States? With this info, that is more than a possibility.
