So around 1 in 3 people, would have thought it would be higher.

There are currently 4.66 billion active internet users worldwide. 65.6 percent of the entire world's population has internet access. There are 4.28 billion unique mobile internet users worldwide, which makes up 54.6 percent of the global population. (Google source)

I dug up this stat on the internet above just now. Related to "phones only", I've seen from another source that around 35% of people have a "smart phone" ...I'm starting to think its wrong, maybe an old stat that I've got
