"Penetration" in this context is from the viewpoint of someone trying
to have something of theirs go into other people's lives.

I am not sure anyone was really doing this.

Nor does Internet usage "diffuse".  People need a computer and then to
pay some money, make some arrangements, install software etc.

Perhaps "adoption" would be a better term.
