Bars are sorted from highest to lowest and start at zero; each one's value is at its end. The dashed line is “World”, for comparison. It opens on the top and bottom 10; use “Show all” or the search box for the rest.

How to read this chart

Each bar is the share of a country's people who used the internet in the previous three months. The dashed line is the whole world. The chart opens on the top and bottom of the ranking; search for a country to find its bar among the rest.

Questions to discuss

  1. Find the United States and one country on another continent. How far apart are their shares?
  2. What do the countries at the bottom of the ranking have in common? What might keep people there offline?
  3. The world figure is closer to the bottom than many rich countries are to the top. Why might that be?

Teachers: add this chart to a class assignment, one link to post in Google Classroom, Canvas or Moodle.
