Problems With Old Ways of Thinking and New Ways Of Thinking Especially in Developing Countries in the Rural Parts

Problems With Old Ways of Thinking and New Ways Of Thinking Just got done watching a video on Madagascar's laws in the rural areas, where if a woman has twins, they consider this a curse and the woman either has to abandon the baby or be banned with them on their own. Then my brained sparked on a philosophical analysis. It seems that we are living in a time of great advances in technologies that are changing the way we think, the way we socialize, old traditionalist backlashed on technology and religions and ancient dogma always holding it down. Mostly conservative, traditionalism, old teaching institutions, ancient teachings, beliefs, mainly through religion are holding the poor, rural populations down to what can better their lives. I think this is why most rural young people move to the urban areas to free their minds from being imprisoned in the dogma they exist in. I have come to a conclusion this is in thinking in what happens to Babel in the Bible. The Tree of Knowledge was just the same thing, figuring keeping the people dumb and illiterate was the way to go. Well, today's tree of knowledge is the Internet, search engines and social networks being suppressed by the conservative evangelical administration we have today who want to take us back into the modern day dark age with net neutrality. If only everyone could be part of the Internet of things, where minds can be freed through an open and free internet which would accelerate the thinking of all people. Freethought, free spirit, free trade, with logic and reason, multiculturalism, open borders and open society could accelerate economies around the world. Old ways of thinking have always ruled to keep the things the way they are in society, but with resistance, open communications, open ideas, and overlooking being color blind or nationalistic could change the world immensely. The greatest thing you can give a poor urban literate person today I think would be a smartphone, laptop, access to a free Internet and the ability to exchange and network ideas through a social medium.
