"Radio: 38 years
TV: 13 years
Internet: 4 years
iPod: 3 years
Facebook: 2 years
In 1984 there were only one thousand devices in the world capable of accessing the Internet. Eight years later this had reached one million. Last year it reached one billion, and there will be little surprise if this figure doubles within the next few years."

Update - it seems that the first stats may come from the United Nations Cyberschoolbus, published (I think) in 2000. Thanks to Joseph Guenes (@brandingself) for the tip!

I was look for the source too, thanks for point me to the UN document.
By digging a little more it seems I found the original source, the UN millenium report, chapter 2 page 32: http://www.un.org/millennium/sg/report/full.htm
