Here is a developed country equivalent of the African storyteller.

You are in a small town in Surrey, call it Virginia Water, where people
used to show off to their neighbours with new cars, extensions to their
houses, collections of paintings and slide shows of their holidays. Now
they have an interactive fibre network, so they can be connected all the
time instead of just when making calls. To show off, you put your slides
and expensive holiday stories on your house web server, and spend your
time trying to outdo what your neighbours put on their web servers.
Everyone becomes an editor/broadcaster and storyteller. Eventually this
virtual competition becomes so important you sell your second and third
cars, and invest in better hardware or ghostwriters.
