Information Technology and Africa

In this instructive and far-reaching book, Dr Evans E. Woherem explores the technological antecedents of Africa or the extent to which Africa was a pioneer in technology in the world. The author presents the reasons Africa missed the boats of the previous industrial revolutions and why the continent needs to join the train of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). Africa should be an active user, developer and, thus, a co-owner of the 4IR. The book advices on policies, capabilities, projects and steps for exponential growth in Africa. It also provides a great understanding of the exponential technologies and what organisations, universities, countries and individuals need to do to master these technologies for Africa’s development.
