I find it interesting that in some countries, that you might consider poor or third-world, have technological capabilities on par with the most advanced countries. CNet reports that some poor South African townships have advanced wireless coverage.

Initially I thought this was strange and in violation of the hierarchy of needs model established by Abraham Maslow that is supposed to model our behavior. This model states that basic safety and physiological needs are required before the the high-level, self-actualization needs that I think wireless would fall into. However, Nicholas Negroponte gives a compelling argument on the relation between technology and education. If technology fuels education and education improves physiological needs then maybe wireless should be considered to be lower (more important) in the hierarchy of needs model.

    That is simply because Third World countries are not evenly poor. There are a lot of wealthy, well-educated people who have higher needs. Likewise, the United States is not an evenly rich country — see the wounds Hurricane Katrina has exposed. There are a lot of poor, uneducated people who only have the basic needs.
