Here I sit writing an entry into my blog, connected to the internet via a cell phone modem while lit by candlelight. There is no electricity or running water. Everyone seems to have a cell phone, although they often call and quickly hang up to signal you are the one to pay for the return call. A text message is rare since many cannot read or write.This is what is happening in the third world, gigantic steps in technology while education and services we take for granted await arrival.
