More than half of the world's population is currently connected to the Internet. According to the Statistics ,In Egypt the number of Internet users are 49.23 million which represents 50% of the whole population.As Isaac Asimov said before ''I do not fear computers. I fear lack of them" ,Technology is not scary if you use it wisely.In Egypt, the majority of the population uses the internet in the social media website which is good but not good enough. There is a huge gap between the rural areas in Egypt and the rest of the country and this gap can be explained by other demographic realities such as the fact that rural residents as a group are older, less wealthy, and have lower levels of educational attainment than those in urban and suburban areas.
