How ‘Fun’ Is Your Country Online? Find Out!


I live in Japan. Japan, according to this poll, is not having much fun on the internet. I grew up in the United States, which is so-so for online amusement. It’s fun, sure, but not everyone is having a good time.

But which country is having the most fun online? And what the hell does “fun” mean? As website Tech in Asia pointed out, the Ipsos Global Public Affairs polled interviewed users in 24 countries to see what percentage entertained themselves online and how they entertained themselves online — you know, had fun on the internet.

China came in first for downloading and streaming movies/TV, downloading and streaming music, and playing video games online.

Neighbouring Japan brought up the rear in all categories. No fun!

The differences are related to not only how quickly people are adopting to internet use, but also to regulations within the country. If you can see lots of stuff online for free with few penalties, you bet internet fun will skyrocket.
