== Results of the Taiwan Internet Report 2018 ==
The estimated number of Internet users aged 12 and above reached 17.38 million people in 2018, and the estimated number of Internet users in the country has reached 18.66 million. The overall Internet access rate has reached 79.2%. The mobile Internet access rate has increased each year and exceeded 70% for the first time in 2018, while the wireless Internet access rate dropped by 15%. In terms of online services and applications, the usage rate of content media and social media are the highest for Internet users and both have exceeded 80% while the use of E-commerce has reached 60%. These are markets with more active online applications and growth. Although there are fewer applications and services in Taiwan, Internet users are familiar with the concepts of artificial intelligence and self-driving cars. This demonstrates a high level of market acceptability despite a lack of services provided.<ref>Taiwan Internet Report 2018 [https://report.twnic.tw/]</ref>
