The last paragraph is so idiotic I almost fell off my chair laughing.
They can now find problems instantly, where before it could have taken months for someone to visit the clinic and see what was going wrong.
By the sound of it, it's not CouchDB that's helping them, it's using a computer and the Internet?
- jchrisa 16y agoThat's basically the point, without CouchDB, they don't have internet, because the connection is spotty, power goes out, and latency makes it unusable when it does work. CouchDB fixes all that.
- Maro 16y agoTCP/IP fixes all that.
