I am afraid I am more on Marcin's stance. I am a believer on that 
technologies can help improve living quality and may be issues such as 
poverty. But I am skeptical on the use of mobile device itself, 
specifically on the "cost" of adopting such "solution" widely such as 
the social behavior issues many people, including children, privacy, 
Internet neutrality, etc. are suffering in the western, or more matured 
world. The traditional cultures of many of these places are lost forever.

My two cents worth.
