The most awaited report on Internet trends is informally called the Mary Meeker report, which she began producing in 1995. Little by little, Mary Meeker’s internet trend report has increased in number of charts to over 300, and its observations on the world of digital have come to represent the state of the nation, if not the world.

Here are some of the key points:

•  3.8 billion people are internet users. Use is increasing on cellphone and decreasing on computer.
