The World and The Internet

One thing that stood out every time I checked the Geo Locations of the visitors to my blog was the sole visitor from Africa.

It made me wonder - about the internet penetration across the world - the ease of access for people in North America and Europe - and the scarcity of access for people across Africa.

Check the Internet Stats here.

Hope that in coming times, the net will be freely and easily accesible for everyone across the globe - cutting across geographies. Needless to say, the benefits will be huge.

 

Only then a person somewhere in Africa or Siberia can read my blog!!!
