Statistics of computers

in Off-Topic Lounge
Im looking to find out some official statistics of the following things:

> What percentage of the worlds population has a computer with internet access?
> How many people (rough figure) have a computer with internet access?

Prefferably official statistics and the more up to date the better.

Thanks

    According to Nielsen//NetRatings, it was estimated at 0.5Billion in March 2002... Pretty old, but it should give you a rough idea.
    Estimated percentages for 2002:
    US 30%
    Europe 24%
    Asia & Pacific 14%
    Latin America 3%
    Rest of World 29%
    With Hong Kong having the most users with ASDL and similar connections at 54% of their population compared to 9% of UK internet users (about 86% of UK users were using 56k when these stats were published).

    PHP, CSS, XHTML, Delphi, Ruby on Rails & more.
    Current project: CMS Object.
    Most recent change: Theme support is up and running... So long as I use my theme resource loaders instead of that in the Rails plug-in.
    Release date: NEVER!!!

    According to a sheet my ICT teacher gave me:
    The latest GCS survey wrote:
    61% of uk adults claim to have access to a pc at home
    out of these only 8% over 65 yrs and 92% younger than 65
    60% of uk adults calim to have internet access
    No actual numbers and only stats for the UK. I have much more if you want... Stuff like how many UK adults have personal email addresses, etc...
    How many folks shop online, etc.
