Scandinavia’s technological takeoff should come as little surprise. In the last century, Sweden was among the first countries to realize the full potential of the telephone. It offered a means of mitigating distance in often sparsely populated lands. Thirty years ago, Sweden’s leading technology company, Ericsson, was among the pioneers in mobile telephony, and this decade the country has embraced Internet technologies far ahead of the curve. Stockholm, with nearly 60 percent of its population online, is perhaps the most wired city in the world.
