A report from The Web Foundation, which was founded by internet pioneer Sir Tim Berners-Lee, shows a stark decline in the worldwide growth of internet access. Around the world, an estimated 3.8 billion people don't have internet access, the report shows. The so-called 'digital divide' is still here, and it's worse than ever for people in isolated locations, poor people, and women. “In poor urban areas, men can outnumber women on the internet as much as two to one.” The internet revolution remains a distant dream for billions of people on Planet Earth in 2018.
