More Lovely Facts & Figures
These days, I'm starting to wonder why it is that I suddenly find facts and figures so attractive? Perhaps it is just a long-term effect of being in the Humanities without ever having to seriously consider empirical facts in my research and now I actually think it is fun to look at them. Or perhaps it is because I have discovered that numbers persuade much easier than abstract arguments: students and journalists alike much more easily grasp onto a theoretical proposition if it is supported by figures. Perhaps it is also because that in general I feel that I can make more convincing arguments when supported by facts and surveys now when I have turned to studying the habits of human subjects, and not just the lives of fictional characters.

So without further ado, I'm happy to present another collection of facts and figures: the newest report from Denmark's Statistics & The Ministry of Science and Technology.
Informationssamfundet Danmark - it-status 2003
(fact and figures on the penetration of IT in the Danish Society).

Interesting facts from this report I: 98% of Danish population owns a tv, 88% owns a mobile phone and 83% owns a personal computer.
