Cuba 95% can't use the Internet, Internet amazing-Internet, networking, Cuba-IT information

United States Miami across Cuba, though near the leads the world of science and technology of the United States, but in the latter years of economic blockade lags far behind the world. When people are in a meeting of I/O and WWDC event after commenting on the rise and fall of information technology, and Internet access this little thing, for the purposes of the Cuban people, like Miami Beach beauty unattainable.

Visiting scholar at Harvard Law School, Obama's former Special Assistant Susan Crawford, recorded her trip to Cuba in the Medium. She found that95% of Cubans have no access to the Internet. Although the authors did not explicitly define "no access" is defined, you can be sure of is that no one can brush on a mobile micro-blogging and news .

The minority that can connect to the Internet, most of them University campus network against network, speeds are surprisingly slow. If we want to have better Internet environment, you can also use the Havana hotels and Internet cafes charging network, the monthly rental price is $ 20 (124)-equivalent to the local people a week income; $ 4-7 per hour is amazing (26-43). Application of mobile Internet only mail items, flow and cost of hotels and Internet cafes are generally expensive.

Email in Cuba, like a letter – a letter at a time, still have to spend some money.

If the economic embargo is external, and made Cuba the Internet status of internal control of the Cuban Government. Castro said at the Summit of the Americas on April 17, the Internet is a great invention, but also potentially harmful. That part of the speech can be read as probably the Internet is a good thing, but also not so fast to use.

"The Internet can be used in the best of things, can also be used in the worst of things. ”

Although Vice President Diaz-Canel's interest in the Internet seems to be bigger, people of Cuba's Internet prospects is still not optimistic. A young Cuban man from Mexico has learned his girlfriend "the outside world", he told Crawford in an interview: the Internet is a ghost, a mystery. Already ten years ahead of us in the world.

Another of the women interviewed had been to Spain travel months, everywhere, she quickly learned of Internet users under the network environment all attributes. When she found that the travel time of only one month, and began frantically downloading the app, videos, books, etc, "it's like suffocating in General." This woman is determined to change the Internet status of Cuba, although not directly to people, but she is going to let people know what is Internet. Because the network no network don't care who usually don't know what is. Internet in Cuba, for political reasons, much larger than the difficulty in Africa.

Networking is my view of the universe.

Networks like death, I have heard, but not yet experienced.

When we hear of some technology companies claim to allow more people to use the Internet, but indifferent nod, or suspected to speculate "what they figure"-a place to talk about the subject with a network inevitably so. No network of people, they are eager to network falls, like the desire to yearn for freedom, in a prison in the desert OASIS.

If you can really do make the network more widely available, it is a great thing, and whether the Internet is good or bad, you have to let everyone have the right to tell.
