Francis, that's a very nice reading below.... Andriod spouses, lol! :-))))
I tell you what, if telcos/isps and other don't do this project in the next 12 months, I'm definately giving it a go. And I'd very very much like your input, because we can also integrate the great humor and human side of things in some sort of captions that involve events that can happen and should happen in the Mara. For example, why would newly weds choose the Mara? Where are the most romantic places with killer views and breath taking services ? Which hotel, lodge or camp will treat the honey-mooners as special guests even just for a few days? What activities can kids do, rather than running after Lions tails or head butting some poor gazelles?
Much thanks. :-)
Rgds.

Aki - like I said, I am just playing the devil's advocate...oft I think what technology has done to what were WHOLESOME things....take an example of our reading culture...(on that note I buy more books than gadgets for my kids)...ask any kid today if they have read or even heard of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, or Famous Five, or King Solomon's Mines...(aside from what they learn at school) ....however they will tell which characters Ben 10 can morph into. Meanwhile in the brain synapses are getting wired poorly thanks to such stimuli and lack of "exercise".
When we think of how we are getting socialised these days vis a vis 15 years ago....we courted our spouses at the cinema, walked in the parks, hired a movie to watch at home....now? We poke and super poke, friend and unfriend, we tweet about our Friday shenanigans, we bare it all on facebook, etc etc - I think humanity has lost more than it gained from social networking.
What next? Humanoid wives with zero nagging features to make men happy? Or zero grazing android high fidelity husbands that will not wander away from the "pasture" and make women happy - I'd say that's more innovative than getting a few more eyeballs to see crocs make a quick meal out of wildebeest.
All I am saying is, lets not treat every problem like a nail and technology as the hammer - lets leave unsullied some experiences.
