The internet's second revolution

The second half of humanity is joining the internet. People in countries like India will change the internet, and it will change them. Read more from The Economist here: econ.st/2zVWeQQ

L.O. Two simple letters that marked one of the biggest changes in human history. In 1969 programmers were trying to type “login”.
50 years later and half the world is now online. But that half is primarily from the rich world. How will the second half of humanity coming online change the internet and how will the internet change them?
India’s internet penetration was pretty low until very recently with the launch of a new mobile network called Reliance Jio, with incredibly cheap phones and incredibly cheap data prices. Reliance Jio launched aggressively in 2016 offering subsidised handsets and free data to hook people in. India went from being a relatively expensive place to consume data to being the cheapest in the world. Prices crashed by 94%
Newer users in the developing world are browsing the internet in much the same way as people in the developed world.
When people get online the first thing they do is they chat with their friends, they watch sports, they watch movies, they watch music videos. They watch an extremely large amount of pornography.
But this is where the similarities end. The internet was built on the assumptions that many users speak English are literate and are media-savvy. None of those things remain true for the second half of the internet. You have a whole bunch of languages that don’t enjoy very good support in terms of web browsers or input. And you have a whole bunch of people who can’t actually read or write.
There’s practically no usage of desktop computers, laptop computers. It’s almost entirely on mobile phones and these mobile phones tend not to be the expensive, very powerful ones. They have limited amounts of storage.
This is prompting big tech companies to change the way their products work
They’re having to understand these new behaviours. They’re having to fundamentally rethink how they supply their services. For much of the world that is now coming online, text is not the natural way to interact. It’s smaller apps that can do more and that can be used with voice or video rather than text.
Many tech giants have already begun to establish themselves in emerging markets. Facebook has over 1.5bn users in developing countries and the KZread channel with the most subscribers is a Bollywood studio and record label.
Creating large user bases is one thing making money from them is another.
The prevailing assumption around making money on the internet until this point has been a largely American assumption of advertising. 99% of Facebook’s revenue comes from advertising as does 85% of Google’s. But many people in the developing world are poor. So users don’t have the same value to advertisers.
Take Facebook’s last quarter of 2018. They make 12 times as much money per user in North America than they do in Asia. And overall annual revenue from the developing world is much lower too. Google for instance, about 46% of their revenues comes from the US alone and only about 15% from Asia. That 15% includes rich countries like Australia and Japan.
Take those away and the revenue from Asia would be even lower.
If the traditional advertising model isn’t going to work tech companies will have to think outside the box.
What people will pay for is the opportunity to express themselves? Until the advent of smartphones really, a big money-spinner for Indian mobile networks was something called a caller-ringback tone. I would pick a song that I like very much and if you were calling me you would hear it, and I pay a monthly fee for that to happen. Now think about exactly what this is. I am paying money for a song I will never listen to, only so that my friends who are calling me can hear it because I want to express myself.
So it’ll be lots of novel ideas like that for very, very small amounts of money but we’re talking about lots and lots of people doing these things.
One thing is for sure the internet’s second revolution will change people’s lives for the better.
The ability of people around the world to have a good time is becoming a little bit more equal. And that, while hard to pin down in economic data is a net benefit to just the general well-being of humankind, which can be very easy to understate or to ignore, especially if you’re used to those things but has a really meaningful impact.

    That caller ringtone thing was a predatory scheme that the telecoms use on the users by sending flash notifications that users didn't understand and if the user clicked okay it would subscribe them to that crap. I had to explain this to so many relatives and colleagues. They didn't know they were being scammed.

    The Rohingyan genocide is an ARSA propaganda campaign in an attempt to appeal to the HRW and subsequently mass media about the false narrative of ethnic cleansing. Much like how a "Palestinian" identity was conjured up for the sake of creating a victimised rhetoric, the Rohingyas are simply Bengali migrants. India knows this very well as illustrated in their local media. The OIC is the one cooperating with the Bangladeshi government in this mass relocation campaign. That is fake news in itself, and very much widely believed.

    Liked the video until they stated that "it will be a good thing and make people's lives better"; that's a bold claim. We know that more information can result in anxiety disorders and depression. I would suspect that mental health issues will become much more prevalent in the undereducated when they are presented with a flood of information, status symbols and good looking people. Such issues might result in the rise of more authoritarian figures or tech companies imposing their will on unsuspecting populations. Rich industrialized countries are seeing increasing sucide rates, drug addiction and demagoguery; the video completely misses the downside and that's poor journalism.

    *_I don't agree with the simple optimism this video hold about the internet age._* *_Although it has many useful applications, the internet, in particular mobile device, also means a dystopian future of global surveillance, global censorship, global misinformation campaign, enormous concentration of power... becomes possible if not carefully managed._* *_For example, in the ethnic minority Uyghur region where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime is building the largest ethnicity-based concentration camps since the Holocaust, the remaining few ethnic Uyghur people not yet in the concentration camps are forbidden from NOT carrying a mobile phone with them or turning off the "location" function._* *_Another example is the Twitter's recent announcement of discovery of more than 200,000 accounts controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) uploading hateful contents in an effort to attack the Hong Kong people's freedom democracy movement. For example, these accounts pretend to belong to the protesters and upload pictures depicting police as cockroaches and terrorists, while some other accounts pretending to belong to the police and depict the protesters as cockroaches and terrorists. Twitter's announcement is available at Twitter Safety' s page._*

Big companies are already growing in the emerging market. 1.5 bill fb users in developing countries and the KZread account that have the most subscriber is a Bollywood label - 99% of fb revenue comes from advertising, google 86%. Revenues for these companies mostly come from rich countries. - people will pay to express themselves (eg. Caller ring-back tone)
