Ah this reminds of Cuba: ▶ this video I bet everywhere with restricted internet something of this sort exists. It also reminds the tech startup scene in Gaza, when I was browsing Google Maps to see what kind of economy they have there I recall stumbling upon startup schools. It's fascinating to browse the maps and see familiar things on places you wouldn't expect , I wish the best both to Gazans and the Israeli. Anyway, just for a bit of humanisation of the people there, here is a spontaneous street performans by a Gazan dancer in Europe: link It's one of the most beautiful things I've seen. Notice how she transforms from fathers little girl into this elegant creature the moment she makes her first move? I think people completely transform into another persona when the assume a role and in this video you can see the transformation. IMHO a similar transformation happens when people have a connection to an environment outside of theirs, therefore this stuff is important for things beyond the practical needs.
Hmm, I actually didn't think about that at all. I guess I got too fascinated by this video[0] and wanted to apply something similar to our current scenario. [0]: ▶ this video
The Cuban goverment put a new law that renders all the network illegal. More context on the Cuban Street Net ▶ this video
