In the remoter areas in Vietnam many people are farmers and live closely together with their animals - mostly chicken, pigs, ducks and water buffaloes. Often these animals are their most precious goods. Technology is influencing and changing their lifestyle, like it is changing ours constantly. Maybe a bit slower than in Western countries. But still: Everywhere you hear the classic Nokia ringtone I had back in the 90s. This boy, who was bringing the buffaloes home, was casually watching his favorite TV show on his smartphone - like we Westerners would on the commute in the subway. It’s fascinating how fast tech can span the globe.
