Id very much like to boycott computers, but have become attached to talking with friends in far away places. They are of no interest to me for anything else. Here in Dakar they are at that stage of the love affair that people clutch their ipad thingos all the time, and no doubt go to sleep holding them. I tried to use a mobile phone, but I didn't know how to switch it off, and was so uninterested in learning. It is so much easier not to bother. I never even answer the phone at home now. How much of life can I dispense with? Lot of slavery things here. I actually saw the guns they used in The Guns of Navaronne, so I was told, on the Ile de Gore.
