Global Digital Inclusion

Check out this Map of Glogal Digital Inclusion (August 4th, 2007 by Paul Lamb) by Maplecroft Maps.
Every year before I head to IFLA I surf a little to see what’s going on worldwide and rid my head (a little – 😉 ) of my western centricity.
“This combined with AMD’s 50X15 ticker on worldwide Internet penetraiton provides for some relatively good and real time information on the state of a “connected” world…or at least a more visual representation of the challenge. Of course such one dimensional representations do not tell us if, in what ways, and how well people are using Internet connectivity – just that they have some degree of access.” (Smart Mobs)
It will be great when this map shows digital opportunity and sufficient food, clean water and peace as well.
