That sweet, sweet village life

So, this post was in my news feed. I'm not linking to it because it's muddled thinking that actually ends by saying oh no, don't throw away your tech it's just a metaphor! I just wanted to share what a commenter pointed out:

the men are sitting around, all chatting and connecting and everything, while a woman is working away to feed them. What would happen if she sat down, hmmmmm?

(A little more seriously - only a little: you know, for many people, those 150 in their village were their worst nightmare. For many people, the friends they have on the Internet save their lives.)
