The NYT has a fascinating digital graphic out that visualizes the world by total and per capita spending.

The above shows total spending on electronics. In case you did not know it, the UK is not all of Europe. Switzerland spends the same (in total) as South Africa. Japan is the biggest spender in Asia, which is not totally new, of course, but might still surprise some people. Of course this chart could now be expanded indefinitely. Could e.g. show relative growth or decline in spending. Could also be more fine-grained and show e.g. IT spending and sub-categories of IT. But for now we aren't complaining, and say it is a nice job. Except - - some of the country locations are really far from reality. The graphic designer must have missed too many geography classes.
