Mobile-First Childhood Map
Mobile connections per 100 people — a proxy for how much of a country's childhood happens on a phone rather than a computer.
Mobile connections exceed 100 per 100 people in much of the world and reach about 195 in the UAE, which means a child's first internet device is usually a phone rather than a computer — file systems and keyboards may never feature.
