In 10 or 20 years, Ecuador will be more like the US or Europe in those regards.
Some countries, or should I say some continents still have a huge step to make forward, to get, where other countries are right now, as you say. This means legislation has to be adapted as well, not just technology.
Oh, books. I'm waiting for my book from Amazon, it's been more than a month now 😩. They said arriving yesterday, now I see a sorry message and offering refund if I want, but I want the book. Unfortunately digital versions have been dominating for years, but when it comes to studying I am not willing to make compromises, I want my printed copy and this is a trading book.
Anyway, the road for Ecuador to get where we are now is going to be interesting.
