I seen this on another forum so had a read as it seemed interesting, but the posts underneath the article were at times more so :)

The first sentence on that article is racist, IMHO... :blink:

It really is, but I didn't take as much offense as the rest of those people who commented did.

 

The truth is, even though we are making major technological advances, ~70%~ of India is still rural and they still use obsolete technology.

 

3G technology was only recently introduced and having a 4 Mbps (like I do) internet connection is a big thing. Although, in the next couple of years I see things changing.

Simplicity is hard.

It is indeed.

 

Just the other day when I was in an office supply store to get ink for my Dell printer/scanner I was shocked to see two typewriters sitting side by side banished to a lonely corner of a shelf. The most shocking thing was their price which was about half the price of a good Win7 netbook I looked at.:lol:

Absolutely the right attitude to anything like that ishan. Reacting to ignorance tends to give it more credence unfortunately.

 

I will point out that the hilarious remark I still think is hilarious, has nothing to do with race.
