Yesterday was marked with “No” from Greece to Europe. The Greeks want to renegotiate the debt that they owe to creditors and, as the weeks passed were uncertainty about the country’s future and about the future of the EU itself, the near future will not be better.
There is much that the country’s investments are “frozen” due to the austerity lived but still, there is one area that stands out as the most innovative of all in times of deep crisis:. information technology
Greece is now a completely disoriented country. Investors lost faith in the country’s potential and who look at it, see it as a country frozen in time, the crisis guilt, driven by decades of bad management.
Still, the level of Technology, Greece has been trying to keep up with the Rest of the World and is the area of information technologies that has more avenged.
Information Technologies, one of the largest sectors in development
This is the most innovative sector of all, thanks to the synergies that surround it. Hand labor is highly qualified and entrepreneurial, as indeed, characterizes this sector anywhere in the world.
microelectronics companies are the biggest revenge in the country, supported by major international groups such as CERN, Intel, Motorola, NASA, among many others. The service provided to these international companies is such that account for 80% of total revenues of the Greek microelectronics sector. They are also companies like Lancon, operating in the IT market, Data Center and cloud services that over stimulate the sunken economy of the country.
It should be noted that this was one of the areas that it enjoyed in recent times of public incentives through EU funds, public-private partnerships and direct investment in the state.
The Internet service in Greece
One of the important issues for the evolution of the technology sector and the very development of the economy is the quality of infrastructure appropriate infrastructures for their development.
Greece, according to data from the Net Index Ookla, is in 96th position when it comes to Internet speeds per household. This value gets more expression when we observe the values of Portugal, occupying the 30th position.
While the average speed Download registered in Greece last month was 10.7 Mbps in Portugal It was 32.3 Mbps. In the case of Upload the values to Greece accounted for 1.9 Mbps, while Portugal were 7.1 Mbps. In the case of mobile Internet, Greece recorded the best values that Portugal with average speeds recorded Download 21.2 Mbps, against 16.7 Mbps in our country. It is important to realize that these values result from tests performed for about the same number of unique IPs, at the same time in both countries.
mobile
In general, across Europe, it is Android that reigns in most used mobile devices and Greece is no exception, with over 66.2% of Greeks use the Android and iOS only 28.93% . The use of Android compared to iOS has been a trend that has been increasing over the last year.
The strong presence of Windows XP
Windows 7 is the operating system for computers that still dominates the world market. However, in general, the adoption of Windows 8.1 has been made increasingly over the past year. In Portugal, for example, the adoption of Windows 8.1 instead of Windows 7 was made in a very expressive way.
In the case of Greece, the picture is quite different. Despite being a country where Windows 7 dominates, is Windows XP that stands out for not having yet been overtaken by Windows 8.1. This may reveal that the equipment in Greece are obsolete and that the Greeks are not as prone to technological development as the rest of European countries.
In addition, other relevant data in this analysis is the lack of expression OS X has in the country. Until Windows Vista and Linux are more present in the Greek computers.
This is just a glimpse of the technological landscape of one of the most talked about countries around the world in recent times, a country that has long stopped while watching the negotiations of a future that is predicted difficult and no doubt that technology will play a key role in its economic recovery.
