Prob people living in really poor countries that dont have access to technology like we do. There are alot of tribes also that dont use anything of that sort. I watch the Discovery Ch and National Geo Ch and its amazing how some people live, the tribes in South America and in Africa, Thailand etc etc, I love to watch those shows bec they are sooo interesting to see how these people live their everyday lives. I say to myself I wake up everday to NYC life while someone in that lives in the Amazon river wakes up to something the total opposite.
