Nepal has an uneven infrastructure, with all major services concentrated in the few urban areas. The majority of Nepalis travel around on hillside paths that have been trodden for centuries, and it may be many days' walk to the nearest health post and many more hours on a bus to reach a major hospital. The city areas are filling up with people seeking jobs and wanting to be close to services not available in rural areas. Kathmandu's infrastructure is stretched to breaking point. Water is scarce, garbage is produced faster than the municipalities can clean, the roads are filled to capacity and the air is heavy with toxic fumes from vehicle emissions.
Technology goes hand in hand with infrastructure.
One of technology's uses in Nepal is to produce energy from water, which could then take electricity to the villages. Technology in itself is not a bad thing, but the appropriateness of big projects like dams and hydroelectric plants must be taken into account before implementation.
