This latest Swedish contribution to the World Internet Project contains a wealth of data on how Swedes of all ages and both genders use the Internet. One striking result is a graph showing the age by which 50% of an age group are using the Internet, which declines from 15 in 1997 to 3 in 2011. However Swedish 3 year olds are not regular users, with only 2% using the Internet on a daily basis. The report also includes a section describing mobile Internet usage: thus over 35% of the population use mobile Internet and 42% of these use it every day. The section includes data on usage by age and gender, most popular uses, hours of usage etc.
