Scandinavia tops the world in access to the Internet and other communications technologies, but South Korea and other Asian countries are catching up fast, the U.N. communications agency said Wednesday.
Sweden came in first in the Digital Access Index, followed by Denmark and Iceland, while Norway was fifth, said the International Telecommunications Union.
“Their presence at the top reflects that region’s traditional emphasis on equitable access, affinity for technology and top-notch infrastructure,” the ITU report said.
South Korea, world leader in high-speed “broadband” access, came in fourth. South Koreans are heavy users of the Internet for games, chatting and other purposes.
Filling out the top 10 in order were the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Finland, Taiwan and Canada.

Apartment Updates / Work Traveling
Well, spent this past weekend in Kouvola / Kuusankoski working on the new apartments getting them ready before the end of the month for the new tenants.
Pics will be coming shortly (either tonight or tomorrow) of the 2 room apartment.
Next weekend will be the one room apartment and taking down all the closets / wall paper / and possibly the kitchen cabinets if all goes well. (at least thats my master plan.)
that way I can have the following weekend to myself. ;)
Off to Oulu once again on Wednesday all day for work stuff, so that should be nice and a change in pace of things.
More news to come soon…

End of the world flash movie – It’s a cartoon I came across and thought I gotta share this with everyone else.

Just dont have the volume up too loud as it gets to be on the loud side.
But very funny…
