| Africans have a better idea about which view of Africa's the fine one |
A month living with Africa's Tech Sector is like the opposite of the movie "The Matrix". In the matrix all the humans think they are living in a normal world, but in reality dwell in torrid humid dystopic conditions. Take the red pill, and you see the horror of reality...
Africa's Tech Sector has been described in halloweenish, dystopian, horrific terms by agents of the Charitable Industrial Complex, Big Shred, and Planned Obsolescence. Take the blue pill, and you find a bunch of intelligent, happy, funny people living in a normal world of value added, growing standards of living, and healthy teledensity.So just close your eyes, count backwards from Three, and when I snap my fingers, we'll solve Africa's real e-waste problems efficiently, fairly, and fairly quickly.
It's time for the good news!
Morpheus's "dirty little secret" isn't the truth.
The Truth in Africa isn't "Sodom and Gomorrah" or "Eden" either. But it's a lot more like "Avatar" than it is "The Matrix". Once you live here and see people are kind of the same, the solutions become easier to do.
There are simple and friendly and affordable solutions here. (And the EU can still get all the unobtanium it wants.) America is teaching Africa and Europe to "Dab" together, trade together, cooperate together. With a little Interpol "community policing" we'll suffer less "collateral damage".
