Good information posted in today's Good Morning Silicon Valley newsletter - the most interesting reference is: "Typically, we have seen that the civil liberties and education levels of a
nation strongly determine its level of technology adoption..." - let's make the nation of REALNEO as good as Denmark, with great IT, education, and civil liberites for all!

<>Odin, Thor, Ragnarok spotted war-driving in Denmark:
Which nation is the
world's most tech savvy? If you said the United States, guess again. According
to IDC's
Information Society Index, which measures a nation's ability "to participate
in the information revolution," it's
Denmark. Based on 2003 data, 67 percent of Denmark's population uses the
Internet with 84 percent of those users connecting from home. 22 percent of the
country's households use broadband connections and total mobile subscriber
penetration reached 59 percent. Sweden came in second overall, followed by the
United States, Switzerland and Canada. Predictably, Indonesia, Vietnam, India
and Turkey received the lowest overall scores of the 53 countries assessed.
"Typically, we have seen that the civil liberties and education levels of a
nation strongly determine its level of technology adoption, but there seems to
be a loophole where wireless adoption is concerned," said David Emberley, a
senior analyst for IDC. "This is one area in which consumer adoption has been
strong even in some of those countries with lower overall scores for social
freedoms."
