Yet, even though the Internet population has grown to 1.8 billion users it still lags behind the fastest growing technology in history, the cell phone. Interestingly, it took the cell phone also many years to become commonplace. Cell phones were developed in the 1940s, introduced in 1978 but became an ubiquitous item only in the 2000s. But cell phones enjoyed the fastest uptake with more than 3 billion people acquiring cell phones during the past 6 years; more than 4 billion people now own a cell phones. Which is almost as many people that listen to radio.
