Modern Technology

Today Smartbro finally came to correct the Internet problems at CC Masantol. I have been calling and waiting for their help since Wednesday August 29th. On Friday the 31st Jhek Jhek invited me to use the connection at his home. It is striking to see the modern technology of Internet connection being used in the very modest home of someone in Masantol. That is families such as Jheks live without so much of what Americans consider normal and expected. At 5 o'clock the smartbro techs pulled up in a motorized trike. Only in the 3rd world of Masantol would you a company repairman arrive in such style. They even had a ladder somehow attached to the top. Praise God we now have Internet connection again. How did we keep in touch before Internet? When I was here in the Philippines for the 1990 crusade even mail took more then a week for USA delivery. Expensive telephone was the only option. With today’s technology communication is instantaneous.
