If the internet were a country, it would be the fifth largest economy all on its own, but just 43% of people have access to it. Since 2013, Facebook has been working alongside names including Samsung and Qualcomm to fix this. But could making the internet accessible to all really be so simple?

People don’t like ads, and the success of Spotify Premium shows that they'll pay to avoid them. YouTube is now offering a similar option in the form of YouTube Red, giving users an ad-free experience and exclusive content. How might the loss of commercials impact the future of the ad industry?

Google is developing its offline capabilities, so that Search, Maps, Docs, Chrome and YouTube will all have some level of functionality, even when there's no Wi-Fi or mobile data. It's aiming to help both those in emerging markets and those who live in super-connected parts of the world.

With mobile now the norm, people are used to being able to access content whenever they want, regardless of where they are or what they’re doing. Netflix is now making this easier than ever with the introduction of a download function, which allows its 83 million users to watch offline and on-the-go.
