For the world economy to grow faster it is very important to include African in the equation. One area that needs to be considered seriously is the development of information and communication technology (ICT) in African countries. As much as there are other notable initiatives to drive the global economy forward one area that requires urgent attention to accelerate tremendous ret07.blogspot.com” target=”_blank”>economic growth is in the development of ICT in Africa.
One organization that is spearheading these in Africa is the International Telecommunications Union. Their ambitious plan to connect all major cities in Africa with broadband infrastructure is something that needs to be applauded. These connectivity will go a long way to connect Africa with the rest of the world hence accelerate global economic growth. Let it be realized there is a wealth of ideas in Africa that need to be harnessed and with the provision of ICT infrastructure these ideas can be developed.

But am excited to note with the laying down of the fibre cables, with the aim of connecting the African continent with rest of the world through the internet, will be of great benefit to the world. Providing information and relaying of the same, is one sure principle of bettering the lives of people. For the smooth flow of information, money and ideas it would be paramount that a cheap and accessible broadband connectivity be in place. With reliable connectivity it is expected the cost of communication to reduce drastically including access to internet connection.

Well…..we have to knock down trees to put up cellphone towers.We also had to use a good number of trees to put up phone poles.There's also the fact that communications technology requires the manufacturing of LOTS of plastic.That process ain't good for the environment.Plus….this is a strecth….people talking on their cellphones while driving get in lots of accidents.When cars get banged up they leak fluids….antifreeze,oil,all that good stuff.It doesn't just magically get cleaned up.It runs to the side of the road,until the rain washes it all into your local waterway.
But communications technology saves more resources than it wastes.Think about it.Send an email.You just saved an envelope and a stamp,plus the gas it took the U.S. postal service to deliver that same message! Have you ever driven anywhere to meet someone who didn't show up? You could've saved that gasoline if you had a cellphone! I install communications services that can handle 24 phone calls with the same amount of wire that it takes to bring 2 phone lines to your house! That saves a butt-load of copper,which is very costly to dig up out of the ground!With the installation of the trans-Atlantic cable (this is old stuff I'm referring to now) we eliminated the need to send messages by boat "across the pond"!
I have a sneaking suspicion that your question is not your own,but was inspired by someone who has no love for modern communications technology.Tell them that their precious trees are safer now (atleast from the evil Telecom Demon) than they were 50 years ago!
