This kind of result was probably inevitable from the simple point of view of introducing radically new, expensive, and constraining technologies on the third world. Our cultures whole “upgrade because you can” mentality is not easilly transportable to other cultures. Our assumption that we are making their lives better, by introducing this ingenious [...]
