What we thought - nothing. If average monthly salary in ex-communist countries like Bulgaria, Russia... is around $100, it is normally peoples to think to survive first and after that for other things. For most of our people computer is luxury, like a car, microwave oven and so on.
But we still keep our education system, which produce people like us.
Dear community please remember Great Depression in USA; situation here is the same.
Statistics give us only numbers; this is not the whole picture.
