Where a Cellphone Is Still Cutting Edge

From April 9th-

I found this to be one of the more interesting articles I've seen since I started this blog. Not only does it have great facts and interesting information it shows a great contrast between the "West" (more like just America) and everyone else.
I never knew that a cellphone could be used in all the different ways that people use them for in poor countries. For example, I think the idea to use a cellphone like a credit card/bank account in brilliant. Just imagine how much easier banking and bills would be! I mean I thought the purpose of a cellphone was to text, play games, and have cool ringtones! (Joke)
Another thing that blows me away in this article is that fact that more people have cellphones then have toilets. I never really thought about it but having a cellphone is A LOT more important than having a toilet in the modern world but I've just taken having a toilet around me for granted.
America really does look at the world the wrong way, our society is to engaged in luxury rather than doing things cheap which is what made are country so great in its early days.
