In this project my partner and I researched several key areas, including the digital divide, demographics, climate, and overall technology usage in both countries. Through this comparison, we were able to understand how different factors influence access to technology and digital opportunities. This project helped us see the similarities and differences between the two countries and how these elements shape their digital landscapes.
I chose Canada and my partner chose Sweden because we both visited these places within the last year. The experiences we had there were still fresh in our minds, which made it easier to compare what we observed. This helped us connect our personal experiences to the areas we researched and made the project more meaningful.
Canada has more iPhone users than Android users, which surprised me because when I visited Canada, I noticed many people using Android devices.
I learned that I can’t just assume everyone around the world is connected to the internet. I realized this after looking at my partner’s data about Sweden. His country had fewer people connected and using the internet compared to mine. This helped me understand how different countries have different levels of access.
