Much later than 1984 in Central Korea.

This picture was taken by someone else when they visited Korea. It was shared with me by a co worker. What struck the person who took this was that this was what you might consider a small town even village in central Korea. Like some of the pictures Zach and I took on our recent trip when we rode the train from Seoul to Busan of small towns with sometimes several clusters of apartment Hi Rise buildings. In talking about this with my co worker I mentioned that of course this came to be this way because of the industrialization of rural Korea and the fact that all the small farms folks had to go to work for bigger plants and companies and had to move from small single farms to some city center even rural small town city centers. It to me in a odd way reminded me of the futuristic perception offered in the book "1984" by George Orwell. Then of course my younger co worker may have been 10 or 15 years old in 1984 and likewise just didn't know about this book. Seems odd to be in a time when people I talk to every day would not know about this book. It was sort of a label for a lot over the years.
