Tribal People Try Technology

The technology episodes: smartphones, drones, VR headsets, robot vacuums, electric cars, 3D printers — things that are ordinary in a city and new in a village where the electricity still goes off for hours a day.

The questions are practical: what is it for, how much does it cost, who fixes it when it breaks. VR headsets get the biggest reactions; robot vacuums get the most suspicion.

Most of the tribe have a basic phone and a television. Anything beyond that is examined like a visitor from another planet, and the jokes write themselves.
