Where for the most part of the world videogames and computers are integrated in society, a common household item, it's the opposite for Bhutan. The computer has entered education just roughly 5 years ago. There are an estimated 10000 privately owned computers in a population of nearly 800.000 people. At the moment of writing the only games that are being played are pubG and mobile legends, as most of the population own a mobile phone. Just a small community is playing games like GTA and FIFA, but most people do know who Mario is.

There is a great ambition and passion in Bhutan to make a change, for both their people, but also for the world to get to know Bhutan, its history and its strength to join the cutting edge of videogames and high-tech in this generation.
