Innovations in the Developing World

Anyone who has ever taken a trip to the developing world has surely seen a few innovations that make you think "Wow, what an interesting way to solve that problem." I've found that people in developing countries are forced to become more resourceful, innovative and adaptable due to lack of available resources, low income or any other number of reasons. Here was one adaptation that I thought was pretty clever. I have no idea how much these pickup truck bed liners would run you in the developed world (nor am I sure how much this one cost) but I'm sure it is less, and I'm a huge fan since it's from reused materials!  

My co-worker Benson and me waiting for our team to arrive. I've never owned a pick up truck so I'm unsure how common it is to put these in the bed of your truck, but it seems useful to prevent things from sliding around.
