Background

The internet has become an essential part of modern life, transforming communication, information
access, commerce, entertainment, and healthcare. It is now so common that it is essential for research,
education, and development in many fields, driving innovation and economic growth. However,
approximately 4.3 billion people worldwide, primarily in developing countries, lack internet access
(Deloitte 2014). This digital divide deprives these individuals of the many benefits that the internet
provides. There is a strong correlation between internet access and GDP. Countries with higher levels of
internet penetration tend to have higher GDPs. This is because the internet enables businesses to reach
a wider market, innovate more quickly, and operate more efficiently. It also allows individuals to access
information and education, which can lead to higher productivity and incomes.

A study by the World Bank found that a 10% increase in internet penetration can lead to a 1.38%
increase in GDP per capita. This suggests that extending internet access to underserved populations
could have a significant impact on economic growth and development. GDP, or gross domestic product,
is a measure of a country's total economic output. It is calculated by adding the value of all goods and
services produced in a country each year. GDP is often used as a measure of a country's economic
development. In addition to the economic benefits of internet access, it can also lead to social benefits
such as improved education, healthcare, and civic engagement.

Category of Civilization

Brunei - Brunei is a Southeast Asian country with a rich culture and history that is influenced by Islam,
Malay traditions, and its diverse population. Islamic values, Malay heritage, and a unique blend of
cultures characterize Brunei's civilization. Islamic law plays a significant role in Brunei's society, and the
country is known for its mosques, Islamic schools, and Islamic festivals. The country's diverse population
has also contributed to its unique culture. For example, the Chinese community has influenced Brunei's
cuisine and architecture, while the Indian community has influenced Brunei's religious and cultural
traditions.
 Indonesia - In terms of the category of civilization, Indonesia could be classified as a maritime civilization.
Maritime civilizations are those that have developed and thrived around the sea. They are often
characterized by their strong seafaring traditions, their dependence on maritime trade, and their
adaptation to coastal environments.

Purpose
Internet service speed is the pace at which data can be moved from a user's device to the network
of the internet service provider (ISP), according to , Professor Emerita of Science and
International Affairs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She highlights how
crucial it is for a number of factors, including the capacity to stream video and music, download
and upload files, and take part in online activities. A country's productivity and creativity, which
in turn fuel economic growth and GDP, are heavily influenced by the speed of its internet
services. The best indicator of the size and health of an economy, according to Paul Krugman, is
the GDP. It gives a measurement of the average income of a nation's citizens and is used as a
barometer of that nation's level of life. A greater standard of life is typically associated with a
higher GDP per capita.
The classification of countries into the first, second, third, and fourth worlds is no longer valid
and has come under fire for being overly straightforward and unreliable. The classification of a
nation and its internet speed and GDP per capita do, however, have some association. The
majority of the world's developed nations are generally seen as being in the first world. They
have quick internet speeds and a high GDP per person. This is a result of their robust economies
and infrastructural investments. Examples of first-world nations with high GDP per capita and
quick internet access include the United States, Canada, and Japan. Most people agree that
second-world countries are more developed than third-world nations but less developed than
first-world nations. They have varying internet connections; some have quick speeds in cities but
slower speeds in the countryside. For instance, both Russia and Brazil are developing nations
with varying internet speeds. The least developed nations in the world are typically thought to be
those in the third world. Due to their weak economies and infrastructure, they have lower GDP
per capita and slower internet speeds. For instance, third-world nations like Nigeria and India
both have slower internet speeds and lower GDP per capita. Most people agree that second-world
countries are more developed than third-world nations but less developed than first-world
nations. They have varying internet connections; some have quick speeds in cities but slower
speeds in the countryside. For instance, both Russia and Brazil are developing nations with
varying internet speeds. The least developed nations in the world are typically thought to be
those in the third world. Due to their weak economies and infrastructure, they have lower GDP
per capita and slower internet speeds. For instance, third-world nations like Nigeria and India
both have slower internet speeds and lower GDP per capita.

It is important to note that the classification of countries into first-world, second-world, third-
world, and fourth-world is not perfect. There are many exceptions to the general trends described
above.
