Recommendation

Sweden frequently has stood at the vanguard of change: It was the first country to grant freedom of the press and the first nation to establish an environmental protection agency. Digital trends analyst Kristin Heinonen explains how the Swedes became early adopters of the Internet in the 1990s and what role the government played in this feat. Her narrative presents an imitable model for nations that don’t consider “socialism” a dirty word. getAbstract suggests Heinonen’s engrossing video to local, regional and national elected officials, as well as to engaged citizens.

Take-Aways

  • Sweden strove to become one of the most connected countries in the world by embracing the Internet in the 1990s.
  • A 1990s government initiative that lent PCs to Swedes at affordable prices generated a tech-savvy nation. More than 90% of Swedes have access to broadband.
  • Public-private partnerships digitalized many public services, which the Swedes adopted quickly. For example, they can file tax returns via a single text message and submit government forms via mobile apps.
