During the more than half a century since Cuba came under Communist control, it has famously devolved into something of a museum piece displaying the accoutrements of life absent updating.

It is a land of rusting vintage cars and crumbling architecture for lack of newer options, and a place of vivid material scarcity amid widespread economic dysfunction. In the realm of cyberspace, Cuba appears equally tethered to the past, as people struggle with primitive infrastructure in frequently futile efforts to interact with one another and the rest of the world. Cuba’s physical confines as an island nation have been reinforced by a stark digital divide: Most people cannot afford to go online for long, and the available infrastructure is severely limiting.

The trendy phones, laptops and tablets are generally brought to Cuba from “afuera,” or the outside, a term frequently used as a shorthand expression to explain a foreign connection.
