If you are giving a presentation on the impact of the Internet on regional economies, you might consider this quote from a senior vice president at Cisco Systems. (It comes from a newspaper in Thailand.)
Speaking in Thailand, Howard Charney cites this example of the Human Network:
There's a particular string of villages in Cambodia that has no electricity and no telephone service -- but they do have the mail. They have leapfrogged from zero communications infrastructure to wireless. Several times a week motorcycles fitted with wireless routers head out into the jungle as the bikes cruise through a village, they exchange messages wirelessly with the school's (battery-powered) computers. Back in town, everything gets sent out over the Internet.
You can watch a Cisco Systems video. I have used this video successfully in my talks on how the Internet is changing everything.
