A visualization about the Demographics of the Internet

The infographic presents data about 100 countries, providing an overview of the Internet penetration in each territory. Alongside Internet penetration, interesting topics such as: literacy; gender disparity; time spent online; trust on non-governmental websites and GDP per capita are also depicted. These data helps to portray today’s society and their correlations may surprise the viewers.

The goal of the graph is to present an easy reading of a large amount of data,
guiding and encouraging viewers to analyse and compare continents, countries
and other different data variables.

Intended for a print newspaper, it empowers readers in finding answers to questions such as:

• Is internet inclusive worldwide?

• Does GDP affect the penetration level of Internet?

• Is internet equally accessed by males and females?

• Does literacy level affect internet consumption patterns?
