The majority of billionaires today can attribute their vast wealth to computers and technology, and as the old saying goes," if you can't beat, them join them".
I mentioned the poorer areas of brazil because the people living in these areas will likely be the people who will work the hardest to get the furthest (in theory). In fact, I cannot understand why more of the worlds poorer countries have not invested greater resoures into educateing their citizen( young people) in regard to computers and technology, I mean, they are the future (pun" intended"), this seems really obvious to me, but the only third world countries to really take this idea seriously have been India and China,and both of these countries have benifited substantually; especially China.
P.S. I hope you Brazilians keep on producing women such Adriana Lima, because when I get older I'll be coming to Brazil to check.(ha ha)
