How Quickly Did Your Country Adopt the Internet?

The World Wide Web is 25 years old<http://mashable.com/2014/03/12/tim-berners-lee-reddit-ama/>. Looking back, it's tough to imagine a world without phrases<http://mashable.com/2014/03/11/tech-terms-history/> like "vlog," "GIF" or "Klout score." I mean, how did people even meet rural singles <http://mashable.com/2013/06/13/bizarre-social-networks/> from across the country before the web? Did they, like, talk -- face to face? With their *mouths*? To celebrate the big 2-5, Esri <http://esri.com/> created an interactive map that highlights how the web spread across the world over the past quarter-century. Click through the years to advance from 1993 up to 2012. The blue dots are based on number of users per 100 people -- click on them for more information.
