At the current rate of growth, WWW use on the Internet will pass
gopher use (in both packet count and byte count) sometime during this
current month (or next month for sure). The raw statistics are below.

For a graphic view of the relative growth of various Internet services
see

Congratulations to the WWW community for developing a service so
widely used.
