That's true now but it won't last long.  I've lived in the Middle East and
South America when remote villages got television for the first time and
everyone could see how the rest of the world lives.  That causes tremendous
problems.  Technology can be wonderful and life-saving but it also brings a
lot of envy and dissatisfaction.  Some days I would love to live in a
remote village in Honduras but the closest I can come is living on a farm
in South Carolina where the cell-phones don't work!
