The Internet is starting to reach people out in the boondocks. * 2
    #26803737 - 07/04/20 02:50 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

4.6 BILLION people are using the Internet now.

Per country the % of internet users works out like this:





Its reaching people previously unreached by much of everything, through the smartphone revolution.


Today I had a chat with a guy from Africa who did not know that nuclear weapons existed.

He asked what would happen, that a large city could be destroyed by a single bomb.

I explained to him that scientists have made a type of bomb that very briefly shines with the energy that powers the sun, how there would be a flash brighter than anything that set a hundred square miles of land on fire which whas then largely levelled or damaged by an enormous shockwave.

I sent him a picture of Castle Romeo (11 Megaton)





I told him that fireball was 3 or 4 miles wide and in the center was millions of degrees hot.

He was blown away, but reassured by my remark that the ones who had such bombs had no reasons to use them on African soil.


He just didnt know of the existence of atomic weapons.

You don't expect someone to not know about something that spectacular.


I doubl;e checked if he knew about the moonlanding but that he knew :owned:


People who don't know major themes in the world are being hooked up to the Eighth Wonder of the World that has answers to most questions.


That is fucking awesome. In my African Internet outreach project I'm learning that LOTS of people there are climbing a very steep learning curve where they find answers to problems that ruminated for generations because there just weren't the books or the teachers to teach it.


Africa has always been in an information vacuum and now through the near ubiquitous phones, that vacuum is filling itself with knowledge, fake news and all.


This will have vast conseqences for the collective unconscious and the practical reality of everyday life.

it surprises me that Canada is shown to have such high connectivity
but suppose it counts dial up lines which we have all over because of landline phone connections
even if it is ass slow and everyone in the world who can has moved on from it

Africa has a really interesting development going on
was watching videos a little while back of Akon doing work there to bring electricity to small communities through grid-independent Solar arrays
and in there he talked about how Africa is actually having easier connectivity with it
because smart phone ownership is much higher than computer ownership, for example

basically Africa is getting connected
but they will be on to a better network than a lot of the boonies in Canada

It's good to know that conspiracy theorists will soon have a wider audience in Africa

Just curious how you ended up chatting with some a random guy in Africa?

Like how did you get in contact with him? Was it through a certain website/platform/social media?



It'd be cool to have chats with folks that are out in the boondocks/in parts of the world that are just now "coming online".

Social media.

You have to dig a bit, dodge the "nigerian princes" but then you'll find them.

I havent managed to stumble onto Chinese yet but I'm not going to pry, because I have family in China.

Was thinking about the numbers and since it is a % it also makes a lot more sense
roughly that same % of Canadian citizens are based around the US border where internet coverage is more built up

tho a few years ago, the government declared high speed internet a basic right
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-internet-essential-service-1.3906664

after recognizing that many Canadians do not have high speed
Quote:

CRTC data suggests as few as 40.8 per cent of rural households have access to high-speed broadband



https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/broadband-internet-covid-1.5552261

with arguments for expanding coverage availability to all Canadians on the basis that people can no longer realistically function in the modern world
without internet access
online job applications, and in the midst of the pandemic increasing push for work from home, access to government services, fundamental and regular communication with friends and family

not to complain about the prior focuses of the government organization handling this
but definitely think that increasing high speed connectivity across the citizen base
will help their efforts to have Canadians have more access to Canadian porn
Quote:

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says AOV XXX Action Clips and AOV Maleflixxx may not be airing enough Canadian content or closed captioning.

The X-rated specialty channels are supposed to air 35 per cent Canadian programming over the broadcast year and 90 per cent of its content should have captioning.



https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/2-porn-channels-may-need-more-canadian-content-crtc-says-1.2561637

:rofl:
sorry, this last bit came up when googling the CRTC to make sure if was the government organization and not an outside group

I have an African Internet Outreach project going where I inject the African internet, basically, with ideas and information that open doors for them.

Most westerners dont fully realize what solid gold the Internet is, but in Africa, the vast majority are almost internet illiterate.

I'm opening minds to the new resource they have at their disposal, how they can use that toi advance their own position and that of their community.

I tell them things as basic as what Wikipedia is (a huge boon in a near bookless environment) but also more thought provoking ones, like that you can use the Internet to help those around you who are not as Internet savvy, to advance, which they will reward you for.

If you are in the middle of Zambia and the village has this fantastic craftsman who makes beautiful carvings and art. Make a deal with the man, photograph what he has for sale and bring it to the attention of western auction houses where it fetches maybe 20x as much as locally, then split it with the artist and he will produce for your market to benefit of you, the artoist and your community this cash flows into.

Things like that.

Also, spiritual teacings that make people spiritually more independent from the stranglehold of their churches and mosques. Not telling them to question religious orthodoxy but, planting subtle time bombs that will go off in an a-ha moment when they are ready to realize that holy houses primarily are self serving institutions.

Stimulating brains that are in the process of waking up from an information vacuum.

A propos showing things they've never seen, Earthrise, the pic of earth rising from the moon, the ultra high tech of the large hadron collider and explain i a few lay words whatb they do and why its important for all humanity.

Its a REALLY AWESOME use of some of my spare time.
