1. How do the number of each of the forms of telecommunications differ in the USA and the other countries you chose? Obviously the data is influenced by the population size, so try to compare for instance, the ratio of cell phone users compared to telephone users or Internet users etc., rather than just comparing total numbers. Write a summary list of sentences describing the differences in the media in the various countries.
 * This chart compares the amount of cell phones, internet hosts, internet users, and telephones between 5 different countries. The United States of America has more technology then the other countries. India has more cell phones then the other four countries but they have more internet users than internet hosts. But Vietnam and Colombia have very few of everything.

2. Can you explain the differences that you observe? Write a sentence or two that might explain what you are observing, or write a list of questions about the numbers in the countries. What information might help you understand what you are observing?
 * The differences that I observe is that the United States of America is more advanced then the other 4 countries. If I knew what the population of each of the 5 countries, it would help me understand why some of the countries have very little.

3. Go back to Country Report. Select one of the countries used in your chart for additional information. Read the summary about the media in the country. Then read about education, population distributions, etc to find answers to one or more of your questions.
