We all take for granted now that we have fast, reliable broadband and most of us can’t even remember the days of dial-up of even acoustic couplers. Now the BBC have put a fascinating interactive map online showing the percentages of people online worldwide from 1998 and how many of us are using the Internet.
The map, which you can find online HERE, provides extraordinary details and shows clearly that the first countries to fully embrace the Internet were the US, Australia and those in Scandinavia. It shows that world powers such as China have come relatively late to the party, sometimes even after countries in South America and Africa that have overtaken them in net usage.
There are also a couple of links to articles about the problems Africa faces getting broadband infrastructure installed and allowing their population to get online.

I’m use file sync service called Dropbox for 2 year, and it’s pretty cool. It creates a folder on your computer that is automatically synced to the web, where you can easily access your files from any web browser. It also has the ability to upload files to this folder via the browser too, making it really handy and an easy way to remotely start torrent downloads.
Also, use this link, and both you and I get an extra 250MB of space, just by signing up. Easy
