Around seven years ago, I went to Cebu, Philliphins, a beautiful island for scuba diving. Great local foods and fruits, hot but crystal clear sky, super clear ocean... loved the island.
Anyway, when I went to Cebu, I had a chance to have dinner with several natives working at the hotel I stayed. We talked a lot and drank. While we hung out, a man asked me about which smartphone brand I use. I answered Samsung and showed my phone. He then asked how much it is and how much I do pay for my data plan, etc. Through the conversation, I found that more people (than my expectation) in the country could not take advantage of smart devices or relevant technology. Even for someone who could afford to buy a smart device, the data plan was too expensive...
It's already 7years ago, so who knows? But it might be true that countries' economic status can largely impact people's social media use and their work performance as well.
