● The Internet contributes 3.4 percent to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) averaged over the 13 countries covered by the report (21% of GDP growth for the most developed countries) ● The Internet creates 2.6 jobs for each lost to technology-related efficiencies (See What good is the web? Some numbers http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2012/what-good-is-the-web-some-numbers/)

Slide 75

Slide 75 text

● Most of the economic value created by the Internet falls outside of the technology sector, with 75 percent of the benefits captured by companies in more traditional industries ● There’s a 10% increase in productivity for Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from Internet use ● SMEs heavily using Web technology grow and export twice as much as others

Slide 76

“An increase in Internet maturity similar to the one experienced in mature countries over the past 5 years creates an increase in real GDP per capita of $500 on average during this period. It took the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century 50 years to produce the same result.”
