Actual Country/State
Notes:
- Given the complexity of graphing over 80 different countries, we are
planning on generating graphs for each major geographical area, e.g. Europe,
US, Canada. This will be done by the end of January or so, though we may
not have time to get to it.
- In the mean time, the table below looks at all countries/states weighted
equally. From this we see that 10.5% of the respondents came from
California, followed by Texas (5.1%), New York (4.5%) and Ontario (4.5%).
Compared to the Third Survey, California is exerting less dominance over
the location of the population. This may very well be attributable to the
wider acceptance of the Web outside of Silicon Valley, the heart of the
computer industry and Internet Companies.
- Attempts to replicate the survey in other countries as well as translated
into multiple languages would definitely assist in the gathering of more
robust proportions.
