BBC News has a very cool interactive chart.

This chart shows how Internet had grown from 1998 to 2008 in various parts of the world.

In 1998, the only countries with significant Internet usage were USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden.

You can see how quickly Western Europe adopted the Internet, with over 31% of people being online in most European countries by 2005.

In Africa, however, the numbers are dismal, even today.

Check out the interactive chart over at the BBC News website.
