irony

there's more public internet / computer access in Nairobi than in San Francisco, New York, or London. Every post office here has pay-per-minute public computers with internet access. There are internet cafes on every commercial street, in every shopping center, even in kiosks down dirt roads and alleyways. Contrast this to western countries, where computer use, like phone use, has become totally privatized. You're expected to have your own laptop, just as you're expected to have your own cellphone. So payphones have disappeared, along with public access computers in commercial spaces - you can only find them in libraries.
