A Map of the Internet by Sunghoon Kim

The Internet is the most important technology in this era. Because the Internet spreads widely and deeply in people's everyday life, this useful technology is somewhat taken for granted.

The second one is the relative penetration of the Internet usage in each country, which signifies whether the certain country can be considered it sufficiently supports the liberal environment of using the Internet.
