Mapping the Digital Divide
A new online tool for mapping the digital divide has been created. Check it out!
The website generates a map of the world, with each country color-coded based on its score in the ITU's Digital Access Index. The data is a couple of years old now, but at least it allows you to get a visual sense about the yawning gap between developed and developing countries.
As you explore the map, you'll find little symbols indicating specific remarks about what's going on in a particular country or region. You can also click onto a country and get a broader collection of development data and other local statistics. You can even explore other data sets related to political instability, landmines, the environment, corruption, and other important global indicators.
