Despite using some nice fonts the typography in this infographic seemed really inconsistent.

Who needs color graphics to comprehend percentages? If they were pie charts instead of fancy squares, they'd be obviously redundant.

Graphics, and especially color, make comprehending percentages very easy. Visual learners will instantly understand those graphics better than "75% said option A and 25% said option B".

The graphics also make comparisons easier. Comparing 50% and 75% visually is much easier than looking at text.

Extra fun for colorblind people.

Seriously? 75% of people are on the internet? There are five hundred and twenty five billion people on the internet?

It depends which of their numbers you use. A few charts later, it claims that 96% of people use the internet at home at least once every few weeks.

That looks like about 13 infographics.

Some rather arbitrarily chosen factoids there, hardly the "state of the internet". I'd like some bandwidth usage figures, for example!
