   The third world is developing faster than the first world because   
   of the second world.   
   Because of the Belt and Road initiative and investments from China but   
   mostly of the incompetence of Musk and Trump, USA becomes the third   
   world, and the other worlds move one place up.   
   Don't expect i386 relevant in other places than the USA.

   Huawei is deploying 6G and once finished starlink can't compete,   
   because they need ground stations everywhere.   
   Robot factories can crank out one smart phone per second, so the now   
   poor countries can afford them. Read up on 'xiao mi'.
