SAINT-LAURENT-DU-MARONI – Even though I have been used to it for years, I was still surprised, here in Guyana, by the profound and irreversible changes in media usage.
More than three hours' drive - through the Amazon rainforest - from the Cayenne prefecture, I thought that the high school students in their 1st and final years, who really suffer from the digital divide (weak 4G, faulty fixed Internet and wifi), still had a little attachment to our good old TV. Especially since our dynamic station Guyane la 1ère , a general public local TV channel, dominates the local PAF head and shoulders.
"Who watched TV yesterday?" I asked.
– No hands raised.
“Who looked at their smartphone?”
– Drill with outstretched arms.
“Who has Netflix?”
– Almost everyone!
Television liberated
