A- Switzerland and Ireland are the 5 th and 6 th ranked countries. Both countries are already developed. I think that they Switzerland was ranked 5 th because it has a very fairly low population.

Describe the country and what type of impact it has on world consumption. A- The Philippines stands out to me because it has such a large population but not many internet users.

It doesn’t have much impact on the world because it is a small place and doesn’t consume much.
