  80% of internet users browse and waste time on non-mind building websites such as porn, gossip, following up scandals, gambling and all sorts of time wasting data. Africa and Asia are the targeted markets to sell the internet to since in America and Europe internet is more or less free, so they recover their money by selling us internet at their desired prices. The Americans mostly use the internet to make money, while we Africans use it to spend money.
