[infographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infographic-ai) is a revealing look at [your brain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainblink-brainblink) when [surfing the web](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-mode). This graph documents how many people are on the web and what age group surfs the most. It even examines the ratio of men to women, and it turns out that there are more females on the Internet than males. Some other interesting facts are that four out of five people in the US are on the Internet, and about a decade ago it was only half the population. Another random tidbit is how more nonsmokers and non-drinkers are on the web. Perhaps this is due to the fact they don't have to take so many breaks when surfing various sites. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Internet Addiction:** The rise in internet addiction creates opportunities for digital detox and addiction recovery services. - **Demographics of Web Users:** Demographic information about web users creates opportunities for targeted marketing campaigns. - **Growth of Internet Use:** The growth of internet use presents opportunities for expanding online services and businesses. ### Where This Applies - **Digital Detox Services:** Digital detox services can help people break their addiction to the internet. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising companies can use demographic information to target specific web user audiences. - **Online Business and Services:** The growth of internet use presents opportunities for new and expanded online businesses and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Dependency Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-dependency.md) - [Streaming Viewing Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoamitv.md) - [Visualized Social Media Data](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagraph.md) - [Phone Breakup Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reclaim-your-brain.md) - [Browsing Productivity Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/browser-time.md) - [Intentional Online Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slow-internet.md) - [Creative Text-to-Infographic Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infographic-tools.md) - [Data Collection Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/data-tracking.md) - [Time Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surfpal.md)
