Humbling moment folks. William, the bush man, lives in PNG, and knows what a SIM card is and how to pop open and put in and take it out with ease. Do you know what a SIM card is?
William saw me walking by, and we talked about the house he is building (every 5 years or so you need to rebuild your house because of the bugs and weather). He asked me to take a look at his cell phone which had recently requested an unlock code.
I told him I could try, I knew a little bit about unlocking phones, but not a lot. (Mi gat liklik save tasol). William was happy I was willing to look at his cheap chinese knock off of a motorola which was carrier locked. I couldn't fix it for him, but he was happy that I looked to tell him it would probably cost him money to unlock. He then told me he had bought a new phone anyway.
It is SO interesting how technology surfaces in this country and what people become accustomed to. William would not know how to run a microwave, which our U.S. children do, but he knows how to swap out SIM cards, which many adults can't do.
