For quite a while, I’ve been intrigued by Estonia, the fatherland of Skype and Hotmail, the most wired country in Europe, the only Nordic post-soviet state, as it is often portrayed in the media. True, some of it is just hype, clever image-making, but Estonians have, indeed, shown some staggering progress in IT sphere, even conducted the first Internet elections (in spite of being not quite prepared for it, as diagnosed by many experts).
Now it seems, if nothing goes wrong, this country will be the first Baltic state to adopt euro. Way to go, Estonia, way to go!
