RE: POLL: Are Communities Outdated?
At least I make use of the disadvantages I have. I could simply collapse in a corner of the supermarket and turn to stone. A symbolic statue. But I suppose that's not an option for me. I think that for as long as I can remember, everything has been difficult; there haven't been any easy times. Even the internet arrived in my country 35 years after the rest of the world was using it, and that didn't mean ordinary people had access. Endless years passed; it was even forbidden to own a cell phone. When they were finally allowed, telephone service was by far the most expensive in the world. More than a dollar a minute. And both the caller and the receiver paid the same. It cost them the same. The internet is a phenomenon of roughly five years. It's still the most expensive and worst in the world. P.S.: Currently, with a salary of 2700 divided by the 670-peso dollar exchange rate, you'd be earning about 4 dollars a month. There are data plans for 12,000 Cuban pesos. 6GB of data.
I admire you not only for your talent as a writer, painter, and teacher, but above all for your strength in enduring so many of life's hardships. I have hope that everything can change. I believe we deserve a break from "normal life." Hugs.
Te admiro no solo por lo talentoso que eres como escritor, pintor y docente, sino sobre todo por tu templanza para soportar tantos "golpes de la vida". Tengo la esperanza de que todo puede cambiar. Creoq ue nos merecemos un respiro de "vida normal". Un abrazo.
The system you currently have for WiFi and phones, including both laying: caller and receiver we had too. Providers were free to ask what they liked.
A mobile phone bill of 500 euros per month 10+ years ago is ridiculous.
Till today I rarely call. This year zero times.
I rather wait three hours in a chat or six weeks for a reply on my email instead of making a call and being ripped off.
