I just read that More than half of global population now online: UN
Highlights from the article:
According to the UN, 3.9 billion people are now using the Internet, meaning that for the first time more than half of the global population is online.
Land-lines are disappearing, but the number of mobile-cellular telephone subscriptions is now greater than the global population.
Mobile broadband subscriptions have skyrocketed from just four subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in 2007 to 69.3 today.
There are currently a full 5.3 billion active mobile broadband subscriptions worldwide.
Nearly the entire world population, a full 96 percent, now lives within reach of a mobile cellular network, and 90 percent of people can access the Internet through a 3G or higher speed network.
Whenever I hear stats like these, I can’t help but think about the amazing opportunities to share the gospel. There are almost 4 billion people using the internet! What would the Apostle Paul have done if he could’ve communicated with 4 billion people with such little difficulty? What could you and I be doing to reach the masses?
Start a blog. There are lots of free options:

Start accounts on video sharing sites and make some content. YouTube is still king when it comes to video. But other options include Vimeo and Twitch.
