SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea is embracing the digital age, encouraging its citizens to go online and even boasting about the popularity of that obligatory electronic accessory in the 21st century: MP3 players.
In video footage taken by AP Television News in the North Korean capital Pyongyang, students were seen clicking away on computers while viewing sleek flat-screen displays at a new electronic library at Kim Chaek University of Technology. The library, which opened last month, has 10 million titles on its local intranet, the university spokeswoman said.
"Our e-library built under the deep love and concern of the great general Kim Jong Il is superior compared with other libraries because the students can search and access any kind of books that they want to read in a quicker way," spokeswoman Won Yun Ae told APTN.
