Where Africa and Technology Collide!

Speaking at TEDGlobal About AfriGadget

[note: this was written on Thursday of last week, but my site went down… I almost lost my mind. True story.]

Erik Hersman, Speaking at TEDGlobal

On Stage (more TEDGlobal pictures on Flickr)

I was given a moment to share some of the stories from AfriGadget here at TEDGlobal. Speaking in front of this group was a little unsettling, so I tried to prepare something that was both to the point and interesting.

My main point was this:

African’s are bending the little they have to their will, using creativity to overcome life’s challenges.

The examples on AfriGadget showcase African ingenuity, the type of ingenuity born of necessity.

I did a quick recap recording of what I said, or at least what I think I said, since it’s all a blur now…

    This is a presentation that inspired me a lot because i was like mininmising African ingeniuosity and not even mentioning those types of realisation.
    Now i can notice themn in my country and i can apreciate the authors at it real value.
    Thanks for opening my eyes.
