Answer 3

Most of the answers are good and serious. Here is my take on it.

Here are my comments.

There are countries that are highly developed . They are never termed as "First World Countries". the yard stick used are Technological, Science and standard of living.

Then there are countries that are developing countries, there major cities are as developed as any developed countries but the heart of the country is under developed. These are not termed "Second Word Countries" either.

Under developed countries or undeveloped countries are the ones that are not developed at all. Those are termed "Third World Countries". Most dominant characteristic of this countries is just no technology but a general chaos-every where-nothing works properly, there are no systems in place, governments may be irresponsible, communication links are almost non existent travel as we know is difficult.
