Assignment4Emily

Internet/mobile phone usage

Online version: http://ernie.art.yale.edu/~emilylarned/connections.php

My idea for assignment 4 is to compare each country's usage of mobile phones and the internet.

Cell phone use, of course, denotes a connectedness to known contacts: friends, family members, colleagues -- all these micro-connections=- are all readily reachable. Internet use, while obviously including email services that enable friends, family members, and colleagues to keep in constant contact, also means access to all that is unkown: the whole rest of the world, or macro-connections, if you will permit me to use another super-awkward invented term. An infinite amount of information (assuming, of course, that the web content is not filtered by the government, as in China) in constant flux can be accessed at any time by these users. What percentage of the population in any given country has access to these communication luxuries? How does internet use and cell phone use compare around the globe? Is the USA the only country where internet use (barely) outsteps the number of cell phones? What might this mean? That's what I'll be looking at....
