While the world is working on technologies which allow smart power meters to tweet or publish electricity usage via internet, country of my birth -Pakistan- can’t even produce enough electricity. Let alone efficiently bill it.
Last I heard, people still queue up hours in bank lines to pay monthly utility bills. And of course there are still thousands of human beings whose only job is to go home-to-home and read meter readings every month.
Ah. The technology gap is widening so much, so fast.
