I present this lesson to make a simple point – the digital divide is the development divide. Not only is that underdevelopment most dramatically manifested in sub-Shara Africa, but even more frightening to me is what I see in my own community. Those without access and training (our youth and children) can’t participate in the opportunities ICT might bring; whether economic, social, political or academic.
If we in the “Nationalist-PanAfrikanist” fold don’t began to take responsibility for planning, developing and implementing ICT (Information and Communication Technology) programs and projects for our people, who will?
RBG Street Scholars Think Tank has such a plan, but requires cooperation to move forward.
