    Iceland is most web-savvy country

    Just some interesting news ---

    Iceland is most web-savvy country, with a study showing it has the highest concentration of broadband users.

    The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development found that broadband was also widespread in South Korea, the Netherlands and Denmark.

    But the US still has the most broadband users, with more than 49 million.

      How does concentration of broad band and being web-savy relate? Seems to me that just means they can fall for the nigerian scam faster than their dial up friends.

          ditto. Access to the web doesn't mean you know WTF to do with it. Hell look at all the AOL users.

            I beg to differ. I doubt very few know a thing about HTML or CSS or anything.

              It's because in Iceland most of the year they have nothing do but watch TV and screw around on the Internet.

                I beg to differ. Do you need to know anything about HTML or CSS to make a webpage now?

                  No but here is the quote.

                  Just because I push the auto-pilot button on a plane doesn't mean I "know how" to fly it.

                      When you're a country of 50 people, that's not saying much.

                        Now you're just picking at semantics to try and prove a weak point.

                        If average Joe can use a wysiwyg editor he has just made a webpage. He can do it again and again because he "knows how".

                        He doesn't need to know anything remotely technical except file transfer.

                            No I'm not. Most people do NOT know how to make webpage.

                            If average Joe can use a wysiwyg editor he has just made a webpage.

                            He doesn't need to know anything remotely technical except file transfer.
                            Thanks you for proving my point. That's exactly what I said, they DO NOT KNOW.

                              Oh ffs, get a grip. Your selective incomprehension is apalling.

                              Everyone here with an iota of common sense knows how easy it is to make a webpage and knows that most people out there can do it.

                              It's ok to be wrong, I remember one time even I was.
