Filipinos are using the internet 10 hours a day. The global average is at 2 hours and 16 minutes. Brazil comes in second with 9 hours and 29 minutes, while Thailand is third at 9 hours and 11 minutes. Digital growth shows no sign of slowing down. We continue to embrace the internet and social media despite controversy around misinformation, disinformation, privacy, hacking, and other negative aspects of online life. Forty-five percent of the world’s population are now social media users. This growth fuels social media use. That’s 3.5 billion people. According to the 2019 Global Digital Report, conducted by Hootsuite and We Are Social, the Philippines ranks number one in spending the most time on social media at 4 hours and 12 minutes. The time spent on the internet was 10 hours and 2 minutes a day. This is an increase from last year’s 9 hours and 29 minutes daily.
