More than 60 percent of people in the world have never once logged onto the Internet, either on a computer or a mobile device, a study published by Facebook's Internet.org initiative says.

The study was titled "State of Connectivity: 2014 - A Report on Global Internet Access." The study was published Wednesday and its goal was to examine Internet connectivity worldwide and see who is connected and who is not and the reasons why people are not connected, Fox News Latino reports.

Findings from the study showed that 3 billion people are Internet users as of early 2015. That means that there is still 60 percent of people who are not connected to the Web and never have once been connected, whether it be from a computer or a mobile device.

Developed nations dominate Internet usage with 78 percent of their people being connected. Emerging economies struggle with only 32 percent of their people being connected.

"The unconnected are disproportionately located in developing countries," the report notes. In Sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, just 16.9 percent of citizens access the Internet -- compared to an astounding 84.4 percent in North America.

In the study, data shows that the growth Internet adoption continues to slow down for the fourth year in a row. In 2010, growth rate of Internet adoption was at 14.7 percent. Last year it fell to just 6.6 percent.

"At present rates of decelerating growth, it won't reach 4 billion people until 2019," according to the report.

But, the technology is out there and up to 90 percent of the world is within range of a mobile signal. This means that money and awareness are the obstacles blocking access to developing nations, according to PCMag.

Some people in the world just are not aware of the Internet, while others find that there is little to no content in their language. Currently, 53 percent of the global population does not have enough content online available in their language.

Facebook is trying to help deliver Internet to "the next 5 billion people." Recently, the company launched a free program offering basic Web services in India called the Internet.org app. The app is also available in Colombia, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania.
