If you look at Africa as an example, its not like IF they knew about technology its not like they'd jump into some nice lifestyle..

The Curious Tribe captures a unique anthropological experiment in which award-winning reporter Donal MacIntyre hosts five members of the Insect Tribe of Papua New Guinea in his London home. Turning the tables on MacIntyre's previous visit to the tribe's jungle in Papua New Guinea, the tribe members swap their war paint for sweaters and travel to Britain to satisfy their own curiosities about the British way of life.
The Curious Tribe is a look at the ordinary things Western society takes for granted. The tribesmen experience England and its culture for the first time and through their eyes we begin to discover that some of our own customs and eccentricities are every bit as ritualized as theirs. Snow, escalators, beds, and football are just a few of the things the tribe members encounter in this eye-opening series.

Agreed.
As for the photo. It's remarkable (if true?), and let's just leave these people alone. Yes we can banter all day about the injustice of denying them air conditioning. But let's face it, there are billions of people around the world living without our precious conditioned air as it is. How about we sort out there -- and our -- problems first before thinking we have to solve these people's problems as well.
