Technology and India

In case you are wondering why our skype is going in and out or why we are not emailing as regularly we thought that you would be interested in seeing this. This is how the orange fiber optic cables are being installed in India. Draped over tree limbs, hung across bilboards and attached to walls of buildings with string. Email is available in the slums even if water and plumbing is not. So technology is catching on everywhere, almost. Susanne and I laughed until we cried following the cables down the roads.
