Hacking the Himalayas is a four part series on NPR from tech journalist Xeni Jardin. She explores how Tibetan exiles are reconnecting with their past and embracing the future partly from a growing wireless mesh network. Technicians have to monkey-proof the system. Literally from monkeys swinging on antennas! Meanwhile, buddhist monks are emailing each other from their temples and others are reaching out internationally with websites telling their story.
One monk speaks about the interconnectedness of all things and how wireless further enables that concept.
"Communication is very good."
Read Xeni's press journal for a closer look while listening to each story.
