What if the world were 100 people?
John Yunker has come out with a nice little report called “What if the world were 100 people”. Some of his conclusions include:
>> How many of these people have Internet access?
Of these 100 people, only 16 currently have Internet access.
Here’s where they live:
> 6 live in Asia
> 5 live in Europe
> 3 live in North America
> 1 lives in Latin America
> 1 lives in “Rest of World”
>> What languages do they speak?
Of the 16 people with Internet access, here’s how they are represented by their native languages:
> 5 speak English
> 2 speak Chinese
> 1 speaks Japanese
> 1 speaks Spanish
> 7 speak “Rest of World” languages
