Welcome to World Wants to Know, a data visualization suite of questions being asked by rural populations around the globe. Note: This application is currently in early beta (v.0.5), thus the realtime questions and charts may not always load correctly, or at all.

WW2K aggregates questions from the billions of people around the world that aren't on the internet. Despite the unprecedented reach of technology in first-world nations, there are still approximately 3 billion people on the planet that don't have access to the basic information that can be found at your local library, much-less the internet. Services like Question Box exist to help reach these people whether they be poor, illiterate, disabled or otherwise disenfranchised. WW2K uses data collected from Question Box in places like Uganda and India to display facts about the world that you won't normally find on the web. For more information on WW2K or to find out ways to particpate, please contact j.gosier@questionbox.org. WW2K is powered by opensource technology and looks best in Mozilla Firefox browser.
