Slide 3 of 27
Notes:
- Slide: Graphic comparing Internet adoption compared to other technologies
- Main Point(s)/Script: If we compare the growth of the Internet, measured by numbers of users, the evidence is quite compelling. The PC took 16 years to reach 50 million users. The Internet has taken just 4. The main reasons for this growth are threefold
- The US commerce department sees consumer traffic on the net doubling every 100 days. It estimates that 1 Billion people will be on the net by 2002. These estimates may be conservative, since actual use of the net has greatly exceeded previous commerce
- Process: talk through, pace is rather fast since you’re giving data points.
- Transition to next slide: Commerce conducted over the net has risen sharply
