The Internet is a driving force behind the dramatic changes in our lives, but there are still billions of people without access to it, said a seasoned Internet expert in a recent interview.
The Internet has become a boundless platform for global innovation and economic growth that is having a positive impact on the world, said Lynn St. Amour, former president and chief executive officer of the Internet Society, a non-profit group promoting an open and transparent Internet.
"Today more than 2.5 billion people are online," she told Xinhua in a written interview. "However, we must not forget the billions of people who still have little or no Internet access."
