Very cool.

Speaks to how valuable individual users are across the globe.

Google makes almost all their products available for free. So investment will be commensurate to how much they can monetize the user.

Google is indeed not free, it is paid for by advertisers and they are selling us. Everyone who thought the internet was near free had a massive joke played on them. We are now seeing the real cost to us... basically technology has gone from a tool to help us to one that increasingly directs our behavior.

No, Germans are just a little paranoid about privacy. Sometimes this can be a good thing. Sometimes not so much.

This a tough one. When the bottom half of Africa is included, it probably doesn’t have to do with technology. Then I thought maybe agriculture but that doesn’t fit either.

I will think about some more.
