I've got quite a few friends in Zimbabawe and Tanzania that I talk with regularly on Facebook. and just last night we were talking about Myanmar connections who had added us. When I was traveling everybody wanted to link up on FB. One friend lives in Harare's ghetto Mbare and he mainly uses his mobile to post. And many many people use internet cafes all over the world if they don't have a computer.
And here's another vision for you: I was on the border of Zambia/Zimbabwe which is a refugee camp (known locally as Baghdad). This little 6 year old girl was running around playing in the back alley and she had a toy cell phone that she was pretending to talk into (sauntering and throwing her hair so I would notice). What do you think she's going to buy as soon as she can ? For many people its the first luxury they buy. Its communication, its their future.
