But nowadays we cant even make it halfway away from home when we’ve left our cellphones, laptops, mp3-camera-computer-phone-in-one gadgets at home.

Even Yet there hasn’t been any kids and tambays populating plywood made mini-basketball courts on the streets; their now all in the “Compyuteran” (Computer Shops) playing online games; DOTA and Cartown for boys, and Dinner-dash and farm-town for women.
