Literacy vs. cell phone usage
If the statistic posted here is true, then mobile phone ownership has surpassed literacy in Morocco.
16 million mobile owners, approximately half of the population (give or take, I’m no statistician). As the effective literacy rate lingers around 48% (a recent American magazine propped it up around 56%, but most Moroccans tell me that the government is of course faking the stats. I can’t be sure, nor can I find a good English source online to cite).
Pretty incredible, this.
