Guns Germs and Steel project 2-8-11T

     Today we began working on a Project about Guns Germs and Steel. We had to write about how Papa New Guinea is adapting to 21st century culture. Papa New Guinea has cities where there is technology but it is minimum. They only have two TV channels, three radio networks, 600,00 cellphones, and 90,000 landlines but service is limited. They have airports and helicopters and they also have internet. They produce gold, copper, silver, palm tree oil, and crayfish to name a few things. They import machinery, food, and oil to name a few. They also have about a 57.3 percent literacy rate. Their GDP is 14.93 billion and it has a 6.2 percent growth rate. The GDP per capita is about 2,500 dollars. Finally 87 percent of their workforce goes into farming and they produce crops like coffee, cocoa, copra, palm kernels, tea, sugar, sweet potatoes, vanilla, shellfish poultry and pork. The project is being made by my group with amir, jason, and me.The class was good with the sub today.
