North Korea, ever so cautiously, goes online

In this June 16, 2017, photo, North Korean men and women use computer terminals at the Sci-Tech Complex in Pyongyang, North Korea. Ever so cautiously, North Korea is going online. This is all done with a two-tiered system where the trusted elite can surf with relative freedom while the masses are kept inside the national intranet, painstakingly sealed off from the outside world and meticulously surveilled.
