Vandalism and Cyberspace

Abstract

According to Internet Live Statistics (2014), an estimated 40 per cent of the global population has access to the World Wide Web, with much higher levels among the industrialised ‘first world’. The pace of social change is considerable with the worldwide figure standing at just 1 per cent only two decades ago. Between the end of the last millennium in 1999 and 2013, global Internet usage has increased tenfold. In usage terms, the first billion was reached in 2005, the second in 2010 and the third billion by the end of 2014.
