Why I chose Baucau and Huancavelica
I chose Baucau, in Timor Leste(also known as East Timor), because I'd heard that it was a genuinely poor country, in fact, approximately one third of their population lives on less than two dollars per day.

The poverty of the people in Baucau and Huancavelica has been affected by technology over the years, but it is not entirely responsible for their poverty.
In Huancavelica, the mercury mining industry has been a major cause of their poverty. Another cause is that approximately a quarter of the population is indigenous and they aren't treated with the respect they deserve.
In Baucau, the absence of technology has impacted their poverty greatly. Timor Leste is known as ‘The world’s youngest country’. According to the InfoTimor website, this means they have not developed as we have, and their technology is practically non-existent. The technology they do have is way behind what we have today. As we develop, we get even better technology, and unless we keep updating their technology, they fall behind.
Technology has impacted Huancavelica and Baucau in both positive and negative ways.

Technology widens the gap between those who have it, like us, and those who don’t.
