China has passed the US in internet users, more than a quarter of a billion people are on the net in China. I noted this day would come four years ago after my first trip to China. And China is growing at a fast clip while the US usage is slowing. Is there any field we can remain #1 in this new economy?
Ted's Take
Well, there are 4 times as many people in China as there are in the USA, so that might be part of it. If we handle the number proportionally, it would mean that more than 62.5 million Americans need to be online… I suspect that the number is higher than that…
Why would we want to be number 1 at sitting around staring at a computer screen?
Did you take note of their environmental crisis when you were there? The growth that is so beneficial to them is also going to kill them.
