China's internet network center has reported that forty-two percent more people are using the internet. But, internet penetration has reached its highest ever global average. By the end of 2008, 298 million people were using the internet (about the same as the population of the USA), but ninety percent of those users use broadband connections. Internet penetration has reached twenty-two point six percent by the end of 2008 along with that.
My opinion about all this is that they need to get out some more. With over 298 million internet users, it shows that many people are not getting the exercise they need. If the body is sitting in front of a computer for too long, the calories are not burned and people gain weight. Also, if staring at a screen for too long, eyesight can get bad. But what surprises me most is what the government does to these users. The Chinese government monitors the users activity and checks out any suspicious activities. They have been known to arrest blog writers for many different reasons. Overall, I personally do not approve of this habit.
