Proposal

Global Internet Data

Problem

I want to build a chloropleth map that shows various internet usage statistics around the world.

Motivation

The digital divide is real and mapping it is an important first step

Data

World Bank Data I can use the api at the World Bank to collect statistics for various data points.

Data Model

I will use a Jupyter Notebook (because they render on github) to transform said data into a csv which will be stored in the same area. The map itself will be pure javascript, using the plot.ly api. The final project will be hosted on a github page.

Goal

My goal is to quantify the degree of internet inequality around the world and build an interactive drop-down menu.

Reach Goal

I will have a two-dimensional chloropleth map that allows one to compare various income indicators as well as various internet indicators, but plot on two different color axes.
