Great bombilla 2007-02-08 20:25

Great image, Marine. Amazing, really. Such impressive technology in such a rural place. But, of course, that's why they need it. I saw the same thing in Mongolia. The most primitive and isolated conditions, but often a satellite dish. This is a beautiful composition with nice color. And a good story, too. Best, Hugh

Default To bombilla: Technology in remote areas

Yep. I have seen strange things... Like a motorbike on a so tiny island than you can achieve its walking tour in about 30 mns. This is very frightening how far we have to go to find areas free of mobile phones, of computers, of television...
When, happy to have reached some area that I imagined remote, and that I discover that it's not, in myself is rising the desire to go a little more further... this pushes me to risk a little more comfort, and I wonder how I'll do when there won't be any more place free of technological noise and pollution ? Where we'll we find how to connect to ourselves, to nature, to peace? Where will we have a break?
I have eradicated television of my life... it's not to end watching television to escape in technicolor from a daily life which becomes more and more grey...!
