3. What country has the largest column? What are the reasons that you think that this country has the highest amount? The country with the largest column is the United States. The United States has the highest amount because it is a developed country. The United States has the highest number of internet users. 2. What country has the smallest/lowest? What reasons would cause this country to have a low amount? The country that has the lowest amount of internet users is Liberia. The reason I think Liberia, has the smallest amount of internet users is because it has the lowest number of internet users. Liberia is a developing country. • Look at the 5th and 6th ranked countries. Are they developed, developing, or one of each? Why do you think that they are where they are in the rankings? Use data to help you answer the question. Canada is a developed country. The Philippines is a developing country. Canada is the 5th ranked country because not a lot of people live there, so there are not as many people to use the internet. The Philippines is ranked 6th because the GDP per capita is lower than most countries, so most people probably can’t afford the internet. • Look at the 7th and 8th ranked countries. Are they developing countries? If so, what do they need to do in order to get to the top half of the rankings? Use data from any information to help you answer the question. Guatemala and Iran are developing countries. To get to the top half of the rankings, they have to get a higher population. That will get a higher GDP. Then more people would have money, so more people could afford to have internet. • Name another country (other than the US) that stands out to you on the chart. Describe the country and what type of impact it has on world consumption. Germany stands out to me. It is 2nd ranked on my data graph internet users. It has one of the highest GDPs on my data.
