Internet users as a percentage of population(page 2 from simon)

The line graph illustrates the proportion of internet users in North American countries between 1999 and 2009.

Overall, in all countries the trend was upward. Also, internet usage proportion grew sharply in Canada while it underwent slight increase in Mexico.

According to the line graph, in 1999 the percentage of internet users in USA was much higher than other countries. It saw increase but in 2002 Canadians overcame US people in using the internet , with 45%. Till the end of the trend Canada did not give the lead and used net proportion was 100%. If we look at US people’s proportion, they started at about 20%, however, the growth was not so rapid as the percentage of Canadian people. It finished the second place at almost 80%.

Mexicans did not use as much as those countries’ population and the figure beginned at 5%. Firstly it grew considerably until 2005 but then increased slightly. The percentage of internet users in Mexico was just under 40% at the end and remained the last place.

Participation in education and science (page 5 from simon)

The bar charts illustrate the years of schooling, numbers of scientists and technicians, research and development spending in developed and developing countries.

It is clear that in all categories developed countries were dominant. Also, the charts show the averall growth in schooling, scientists and technicians, and spending on research and development.

Looking at the details, in 1980 developed countries were 3 times more than developing countries in average years of schooling and the number of scientists and technicians. In the category of research and development developing countries spent about 60 billion $ while developed countries spending were about 170 billion $.

In 1990, with the exception of decreasing expenditure on research and development in developing countries while others saw considerable increase. Schooling years were about 3,7 years and the amount of scientists and technicians grew to around 6000 people in developing countries. Developed countries reached the overall highest point with 10,3 years of schooling, about 70000 scientists and technicians and around 350 billion $ spending on research and development.

Weather forecasts (pafe 3 from simon)

The process diagram illustrates the steps of collecting information to be announced weather forecasts by the Australian Bureau of Metereology.

There are 4 major stages in this process: taking and collecting data, analysing and forecasting, making the broadcast and also broadcasting.

Looking at the collecting information and analysing steps, there are 3ways in each of them. The first is that satellite take information and send the prepared photo to telecommunication company. Radars can also receive data and analyse as a radar screen. When the information can be taken by drifting buoy, it is forecasted in the form of synoptic chart.

At the third stage analysed and forecasted data is prepared to broadcast in telecommunication companies. The last step is broadcasting on TV, radio and announcing by phone.
