[Poll] AFRICA IN THE DIGITAL AGE
November 30, 2005 - 06:20 AM

The digital Age is seeing greater transformation of economies worldwide. We have brilliant case studies from India, Korea, Malsyia, China e.t.c It is high time Africa we start acting on opportunities presented by the digital age. I know and i understand from Africa Values and Philosophies that historically African science is shrouded in secrecy and used to be transferred through religious and traditional means.
We have hidden our medicines from mainstream development. You have to be a descendent of a family of traditional healers to have access to knowledge on herbs.There were never schools in which anyone can choose a profession of his heart and thus get the appropriate training, neither is there any documentation of the lives led by our African ancestors.We have relied more on oral tradition where it is difficult to strike the difference between myth and truth.
Today the digital Age brings to Africa and its people a way of documenting its history, exploits, intelligence, knowledge, visions, dreams, progress...
I am inviting everyone who forsee a Developed Africa to discuss AFRICA IN THE DIGITAL AGE
