I just got 5 emails from people back in the US. Each of them ended with a tag "sent from my iPhone" or Droid, or Blackberry, or any other fancy smart phone.
Sometimes I enjoy the simplicity of my life here, other times I really do miss technological advances of the rest of the world. For example, my email tag here would read something like:
"Sent from my battery powered computer connected to a battery powered internet phone, sitting in a dark powerless room with my headlamp on, violently swatting mosquitoes away in between keystrokes."
At this point, I'm just grateful if my email says "sent"
