 * 1) In Country Reports, go to the United States. In the left column, go to Economy and finally to Media. Select 4 other countries to compare to the United States for the **number of cell phones, Internet users, Internet hosts and telephones. Try to include countries from different continents.**
 * 2) On the top right of the chart, you will see an icon to print or to export. Select Export to download the image as a jpeg image. Make sure it is a jpeg . Save it in My Document.
 * 3) **Find it in My Documents and change the name from Chart.jpg to Chartyourinitials.jpg**. (You cannot all upload a document called chart. The wiki will not differentiate and you will end up with someone's chart other than your own on your page.)
 * 4) Create a wiki student journal page called **Media initials and your code name**
 * 5) Upload and insert the jpeg chart file that you created from Country Reports in your media wiki page.
 * Research **
 * 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.**
 * I noticed that the United States has a very high amount of internet hosts when you compare it to other countries. Brazil barely has 50 million internet hosts but we have about 500 million hosts. This difference can be because the United States has a bigger population, but to me it seems unrealistic because 200 million people is still a lot of people. Other factors like money can have an impact on this. Many parts of Brazil is very poor, which may explain why there are very low amounts of internet hosts. The population is also why there is a high amount of cell phones being used in the country. But in places like Germany, everything depends on the population. For its population, it is doing very good but none of the cioluns are as good as U.S.A. because Germany is limited to its population.
 * 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.**
 * All of the differences between the countries are caused because of things like population, money, the laws, and more. Why do some of these countries have an incredibly small amount of internet hosts, yet there is more than double the amount of internet users?
 * 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.**
