In this graph, The united states information clearly surpasses all of the other countries' information. I mainly believe this is the cause because of The United States' large population. The graph is measured in large scale increments. I am sure that out of the population of each other country, the amount of people with cell phones would be almost the majority out of the population. Cuba and Iraq have a small population, therefore their facts are not visible on the charts. I observed that all of the countries besides the united states have cell phones as their leading item the population has. I am curious as to why the United States has way more internet hosts than amount of cell phones. I also observed that between all of the countries, the amount of internet users and telephones are relatively close to one another. Why does the number of cell phones in Turkey over power all of the other categories by millions?
 * 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.**
 * 1) Can you explain the differences that you observe? Think of a question or two that might explain what you are observing. **Write a list of questions about the information data for the countries**. **Beside each question, make a note of the information might help you understand what you are observing.**
 * Why does the number of cell phones in Turkey over power all of the other categories by millions? Turkey economics
 * Why is the number for Internet users and Cell phones in Canada so similar? Canada Interest and socializing
 * The amount of Internet Hosts is the least for all of the countries except the United States, why is that? United states demographics government
 * How is the number of each category determined, who is tallying these up? Maps
 * 1) 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. **Write a short summary about what might explain the information you found about the country.**

In Turkey, cell phones are most common because most people are out and about. People do not have that many internet hosts/users because of lack of time at home. There are many laborers in Turkey that are supporting the family. Wealth is also another problem, in some areas. Cell phones are more affordable and convenient. Americans appear to be more technology crazed because in Turkey, they take care of the valuable time they get with friends or family. Country reports state that in some areas, personal space is slim to none because it is natural to be so close with people.
