(Also, I've heard that having at least 1 year of college (or other form of superior education?) meant that one was in the top 1% of world most "educated", but haven't found any sources that would confirm/infirm that...)

My original statement was even broader that just by having internet access and a computer you're in the top but access has been growing so much I'm not as certain.
