Last week I dwelt on the digital divide in Tanzania and we have to admit that technology is wonderful. It is very youth-oriented. The sector taps into human creativity and contributes immensely to human welfare because we use tech to solve problems facing us... right?
Recently, I got drawn into a conversation about nostalgia for the past century as end of a millennium children will do. As we reminisced about what childhood was like, I started to become uncomfortable with how we all seemed to agree that things were maybe not better, but life back then was more “grounded” for lack of a better term. You had to participate more in it if you will. Analog living took some doing.
