News comments:
Europe. Sophisticated, forward looking and tech savvy.

Unfortunately the "ia" countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania etc) are pulling Europe down just like Greece, Ireland and Italy have pulled the Euro apart.

The latest report shows only 75% of the European population has used the internet.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

What it shows is Europe is two speed. Why the Dutch, Germans and French want low grade countries to join is bizarre (cheap labour? So they can feel superior? Money Laundering possibilities?)
