Canadian usage of the internet has gone from 4% to 91%. The highest usage is 100% by Scandinavia and South Korea. You need high literacy rates for internet penetration. The internet had 30M users in 1999 and 3.9B users in 2018. There are 2128 IP addresses. Most houses have 8.1 internet active apps in their homes.
With 3.9B on the interest, which is just over 50% of the population, there will be explosion of use in the future.
Harvest has a Blockchain Technologies EFT with a symbol of TSX-HBLK. There will be lots of uses in blockchain in the future. They could have a system to validate CVs.
