VisualCalc Announces Technology Adoption Dashboard for PublicDashboards.com. New Public Dashboard Highlights Annual Trends in Cell Phone and Internet Usage Across the Globe.

El Dorado Hills, CA, July 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- VisualCalc, a provider of web-based analysis software and the creator of PublicDashboards.com (www.PublicDashboards.com), today announced the introduction of the Technology Adoption Dashboard, a new free public dashboard that tracks year-by-year adoption and usage of cellular phones and the Internet in a variety of countries across the globe.

The Technology Adoption Dashboard tracks annual cell phone and Internet usage across countries on both an absolute and per-capita basis. Users can filter the data to analyze any combination of countries they are interested in comparing.

The Technology Adoption Dashboard helps highlight surprising trends and statistics associated with the cell phone and Internet adoption, such as:

China has the most cell phone users of any country, with 335 million. China’s Macao region has the highest cell phone usage per capita, at 137 cell phones per every 100 people.

The United States has the most Internet users: 198 million. The Netherlands has the highest Internet usage per capita, with 89 users per every 100 people.

“This new public dashboard helps the general population understand the latest trends associated with the adoption of these pervasive technologies,” said Amit Mazumdar, CEO of VisualCalc. “As is the case with all of our management dashboards, these easy-to-interpret charts and graphs help users immediately identify trends at the big picture level, but also enable them to drill down deeper into the data to get a more detailed view.”

This new dashboard will be incorporated into VisualCalc’s public dashboard website: PublicDashboards.com. PublicDashboards.com contains a set of interactive dashboards covering a variety of topical issues, including housing, the economy, the environment, education statistics, employment trends, and health-related data. PublicDashboards.com organizes detailed, complex data related to these issues into interactive, easy-to-use charts and graphs called indicators. These visual indicators help users identify trends or issues that might otherwise go undetected. In addition, these indicators enable users to perform deeper analysis into the underlying data. With a simple point-and-click, users can filter and drill-down into the indicators to customize their view of the data.

Organizations that track or communicate information related to any of these topics – including public or commercial websites and online or print media – are welcome to include links to these public dashboards on their websites. These links can be found on the PublicDashboards.com website.
