99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Cool, thanks everyone!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, my name is Will, [and] I am a

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
computer science graduate student at

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the University of Washington.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I have spent the last couple of falls

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
teaching Computer Science in Pyongyang.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I haven't... So, I did a Reddit AMA last

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
year when I got back, but I haven't really

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talked that much because the whole issue

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
around this country is extremely

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
politicised, and it's very easy to end up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the large narrative that I don't really

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have much to contribute to.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, the disclaimer is [that] there's going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be nothing about this, or about this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this will entirely be, sort-of,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"What did I see when I was there?",

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"What were the students like that I was--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
teaching", and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"What was consumer technology,--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in terms of desktops, mobile phones", and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"What does technology look like there?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this is the campus I was at, it is the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Pyongyang University of Science and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Technology,
