Ethnography ^_^ ?

It might be my fault. Couldn’t actually find much interest on it. My body was there in the class but I was somewhere else.

They don’t even know how to browse other websites properly. This group doesn’t believe any one outside the community and most of the time when they are not using internet, the feel bored.
