Since we have been simulating the life of a third world farmer, it is time to take a look at these countries using Google Earth.  You should already have Google Earth installed on your computer.  If not, please let me know and I will install it.

Third World Countries

You will then take a "thumbtack" to create a place mark on the Google Earth.  In the details, you will include the country name, population, the Gross National Income (GNI) and the natural resources.
