Computer viruses in Sierra Leone

I really enjoyed listening to CBC Spark's short radio documentary piece on the proliferation of USB drive-borne computer viruses in Sierra Leone. It's a very short peek into everyday technology culture in a far away place, and reminded me both of my virus-laden early 1990s, as well as technology culture in India.

Listen to it online on the Spark episode page, or just grab the MP3; the Sierra Leone section is from 18:50 to 25:50. Associated photos of Sierra Leone computer spaces are online at Flickr.
