Power BI dashboard analyzing global internet and mobile technology adoption using World Bank WDI data (AnalystLab Africa capstone project) # World Data and Technology Adoption Dashboard An interactive Power BI dashboard tracking the global digital divide from 1990 to 2024, built using World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) data. This project was completed as the final capstone for the AnalystLab Africa Data Analytics Internship (Batch B). ## Project Overview This dashboard explores how internet, mobile, and broadband access have changed globally over the past two decades, and whether that access is spread evenly across countries at different income levels. It looks at whether the digital divide between rich and poor nations is closing or widening. ## Dataset Source: World Bank World Development Indicators Indicators used: - Individuals using the Internet (% of population) - Mobile cellular subscriptions (per 100 people) - Fixed broadband subscriptions (per 100 people) - Fixed telephone subscriptions (per 100 people) - GDP per capita (current US$) - Population, total Country Region and Income Group classifications were joined in from the WDI country metadata file. ## Tools Used - Power BI Desktop (data modeling, DAX measures, visualization) - Power Query (data cleaning and transformation) ## Key Insights - Global internet penetration in 2024 averaged 68.83%, meaning close to a third of the world is still offline. - Upper middle income countries have nearly closed the digital gap with high income countries, while low income countries remain far behind and have shown almost flat growth. - Mobile subscriptions (108 per 100 people) far outpace fixed broadband (15.59) and fixed telephone lines (8.01), showing that most of the world has leapfrogged wired infrastructure in favor of mobile. - There is a clear positive relationship between GDP per capita and internet usage, though some lower-GDP countries still show strong internet access, likely due to affordable mobile-first access. ## Files in This Repo - World_Data_Technology_Adoption_Dashboard.pbix - the full Power BI dashboard file - Wo …
