Definition

  • It is estimated that more than 1 billion people around the world have access to the Internet—roughly 15 percent of the world population as of 2012—with a range from 11 percent of Africans to 78 percent of North Americans having access. The proliferation of the Internet since the 1990s has exposed both the benefits and hazards of round-the-clock access to information, including the impact of the Internet on divorce.
