What is Suriname's technology?
Widely variable by geographic and social factors is the way to describe Suriname's technology.
Specifically, the technology that is the most extensive and the most updated tends to be found geographically in Suriname's mining and urban areas. The further from the coast and the closer to the interior, the visitor finds the most inconsistent and uneven technological expressions. Modern technology can be applied in agriculture, banking, engineering and mining activities, especially in terms of multinationals and the world market. But at the same time, it is accompanied by less recent and more time-consuming ways of getting things done in small-scale business and farming for subsistence and for local markets.
