A couple of years ago they published an "internet access" survey and the results were super weird because in countries like Nigeria and India, more people answered that they had Facebook, than those who said they had access to the internet. The pollsters concluded, that for a generation that grew up during the rise of internet and had access to it, the concept "internet" is pretty well understood, but for people who's first contact with the internet was when they created a Facebook profile on their first smartphone, it is not that clear what "the internet" actually is. The rise of smartphones and ready-to-use apps sort of removed the need to be computer-litterate in order to gain access to the internet.

Just 40 km close to Zagreb, there was concentration camp Sisak for SERBIAN BABIES.
And during WWI 1.2 milion Serbs together with civilians and solders were killed by Croatians,Bulgarians and Magyars.
And thats one of the reasons why i hate Croatia, today's Croatian people are for sure not having anything in common with Ustashe,and i love them as if they are Serbs,but that information in your head can never go outside of you because it is so traumatic.
The city in wich im going to High school there is memorial park for people killed by the Ustashe in WWII.
Over 40 000 of them..
And that is someting Serbs and Poles have in common, we both experienced how is it to be betrayed by everyone you cared about.
Serbian Chetniks saved over 500 American pilots in WWII, yet USA thankfully recognized and financed independence of country that never existed before (Kosovo)
And you dont even know who is your peoples friend anymore.
In Serbia we have a say:"Srpska glava za njih ne vredi ništa, jer bi oni rado prodali Srbina za kilo brašna"

Homer from Turkey? Ah yes, the Turkey that didn't exist in its current area and form until 1456 gets to claim a GREEK writer. Makes perfect sense!
Bulgaria got Aesop and Serbia got Constantine, so it is clearly measured by the most famous person born in every country's land area. Are you thick?
Also, 1456? What are you even talking about?

(12:50) There's no holiday for Columbus. I'm speaking from the perspective of a Swede.

So, for that languages on the internet, the thing is: unless it's national stuff, we use english. Brazillian here, for sure 80% to 90% of my online stuff is in english, because it's easier to find what I want and watch what I want. Why would we divide and get things in portuguese too, if we already have it in english, and english is obligatory to learn in schools?

1st: Do you not know who John von Neumann is? He wrote down the basics of computing, modern computers still work by his rules.
2nd: I think there is another famous hungarian person that a lot more people would recognise: András Arató a.k.a. Hide The Pain Harold.
nobody knows who is von Neumann. Not arguing his historical importance.

Rosenberg doesn't make sense for Estonia. First of all he's not Estonian, second of all Arvo Pärt is probably much better known, unless you're really into n*zi race theories (I had to look him up as an Estonian, so he can't be that famous).

A couple of years ago they published an "internet access" survey and the results were super weird because in countries like Nigeria and India, more people answered that they had Facebook, than those who said they had access to the internet.
The pollsters concluded, that for a generation that grew up during the rise of internet and had access to it, the concept "internet" is pretty well understood, but for people who's first contact with the internet was when they created a Facebook profile on their first smartphone, it is not that clear what "the internet" actually is.
The rise of smartphones and ready-to-use apps sort of removed the need to be computer-litterate in order to gain access to the internet.
You sure Einstein was the most famous person from my country?
Who would you pick?

Concerning the most famous people I would have expected Nikolaus Kopernikus for Poland, Gustaf Vasa for Sweden and Edvard Grieg for Norway.
The German army formed Waffen SS units consisting of soldiers from conquered countries. Poland was the only European country that failed to form even a small Waffen SS unit.

9:20 and what about vocational trade schools? I mean, does that count as "high school" also? Are electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, car mechanics etc. counted in the total? I'm not sure how it works in the US. i.e. In some EU countries it works like this: 8 years of public education then 2,3 or 4, sometimes 5 years additional school, where you get a "matura" (4ys) or a trade certificate (usually 3ys) or an ordinary leave certificate (2ys) or perhaps a technician's cert (5ys). Then you'd go to college or univ if you wanted (or could) or enter the work market.
Prior to the dissolution of the USSR, a referendum was held and it showed that on average about 70% of the population of what was the USSR voted that they wanted to preserve the union.
