Microsoft’s second annual survey of Internet users around the world,
released here in advance of the World Economic Forum that is taking place this week in Davos, Switzerland, shows that fifteen years into the 21
st century, Internet users still think overwhelmingly that personal technology is making the world better and more vital. Large majorities of the online populations in all five developed countries we surveyed (France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the United States) and all seven developing countries we surveyed (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa and Turkey) say that technology has vastly improved how they shop, work, learn, and generally get stuff done.
