Synopsis
Afro@Digital explores how digital technology has changed the lives of Africans. For instance, a marabout explains that he no longer replies by letter to questions from Africans living abroad: he uses his cell phone. Another eloquent illustration of the digital revolution in Africa is the proliferation of Internet cafés full of young people. It raises challenging questions about the use of technology in various domains, and in documenting humanity's memory and also asks how digital technology might be used in the service of African people tomorrow.Comments

Kaleil Isaza Tuzman et Tom Herman ont un rêve depuis qu'ils sont devenus amis à l'âge de quinze ans : s'enrichir en développant leur propre société dot com, dans un aspect de l'interface informatique. Aujourd'hui, à la fin de la vingtaine, ils ont eu l'idée qu'ils pensaient faire leur fortune, à savoir, comme Tom l'appelle, des " contraventions de stationnement " : l'entreprise sera l'interface en ligne de perception des recettes pour les administrations municipales. GovWorks.com a vu le jour en mai 1999 avec seulement une idée. Le processus de construction de l'entreprise se concentre sur l'obtention de capital-risque basé uniquement sur l'idée, avec la mécanique réelle du site Web apparemment presque une pensée après coup.
