Well, we sure wouldn’t, but that’s only because we don’t have to. Would you walk 12 miles to juice up your mobile phone? We thought not.
Apparently, there are a few dozen villagers living in the, well, village of Kajrai in India that are making the 12-mile trek to the nearest power-port to charge-up their cellphones.
You see, their village doesn’t have any electrical infrastructure, so there’s no hope of keeping their devices charged without a not-so-quick trip to the nearest source of electrons. Those precious handsets are the villagers’ only connection with the outside world, and could prove invaluable in times of emergency. And, with no forseeable plans to bring any electrical hookups to the village anytime soon, these villagers will probably be staying in great shape with all that walking.
Mobile phones are really becoming a necessity of everyday life. Even in remote villages that don’t even have any electricity. Ahh, technology sure is wonderful.
