Mockingjay.jpg Group 4 Project Proposal

Overview

 


Proposal

Samsung had released their latest flagship phones this year namely Samsung S8 and Galaxy Note 8. Weeks later, Apple launched their highly anticipated iPhone 8 and iPhone X. These phones are packed with features which we could only imagine in futuristic movies 10 years ago. Some of these features are motion sensors, GPS, water resistant, touch screen, Apple or Android pay and may more.


While we have made great strides in technology, how have we performed from economic and social progress? Are these progresses equally enjoyed across different countries?


Our team has chosen to explore technology outreach, specifically internet, in different country’s population and how that correlates with GDP per capita. GDP per capita is chosen in this project as an economic indicator. From social progress perspective, we will also be exploring factors such as education levels and infrastructure investments in water and electricity.
