Hootsuite and We Are Social published a Digital 2019 study, which found that people began to surf the Internet too much. On average, users spend 6 hours 42 minutes on the Web every day, that is, more than 100 days a year.

Despite the fact that in comparison with 2017, the indicators slightly decreased - then people were surfing the Internet for 6 hours 49 minutes a day - you should not relax. According to the study, the decline is associated with the emergence of a new generation of users who are just getting to know the Internet.

The greatest activity on the Internet is shown by residents of developing countries and countries with an average income level. For example, Filipinos are online on average 10 hours 2 minutes a day, while Brazilians spend 9 hours 20 minutes online. But the Japanese and French have only 3 hours 45 minutes and 4 hours 38 minutes, respectively. In Russia, the average figure is 6 hours 29 minutes.

These data can be interpreted as evidence that the quality of the Internet connection in the world is growing. However, they also demonstrate how addictive the global Web can be.
