    Which is the first country in the world to provide high speed internet access to every primary, junior and high school?

    Question #97357. Asked by armindasantana. (Jul 08 08 1:19 PM)

    South Korea was the first country in the world to provide high-speed internet access from every primary, junior, and high school.

    South Korea, the world's most wired country, is rushing to turn what sounds like science fiction into everyday life. The government, which succeeded in getting broadband Internet into 72 percent of all households in the last half decade, has marshaled an army of scientists and business leaders to make robots full members of society.

    South Korea, perhaps more than any other country, is transforming itself through technology. About 17 million of the 48 million South Koreans belong to Cyworld, a Web-based service that is a sort of parallel universe where everyone is interconnected through home pages. The interconnectivity has changed the way and speed with which opinions are formed, about everything from fashion to politics, technology and social science experts said.
