Cellphones Outnumber Human Population in Australia
Crikey! Seems Australia is experiencing a massive overload in terms of personal gadgets and the sort. According to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, as of June 30th, 2007 about 21.26 million cellphones were in operation. A respectable number, but surely not enough to dwarf an entire population, right?
Nadda. As of September 30th, 2007, Australia’s population as a whole was 21.1 million. At this rate, every Kangaroo is poised to have an iPhone in its pouch by 2013. Addiction to technology at its finest? You betcha.
I thought the Aussies were already outnumbered by their sheep population, but maybe that was New Zeeland…
