I completely agree with Drew. I never thought about how long it actually takes different forms of media to catch on until I started taking Journalism. I was very surprised to learn that it took 5 years for the current name of "internet" to catch on instead of "arpanet". It's crazy to think that it took 16 years for the internet to go from 16 million users to 2.4 billion users. That's an average increase of almost 150 million users per year. From 1995 to 1996 the number of users increases by 20 million and from 2001 to 2011 the average increase per year is 190 million users, which shows that when the internet did catch on the popularity grew rapidly.
