HOLY BLOOM BOX! The cell or mobile phone has changed the landscape of the world. BUT, it is impacting Africa even more.
In 1998, communication in central Congo was none existent. In August 1998, a civil war actually started while I was visiting the interior. We never got the word until a week later. Now, mobile phone with the internet keep informed within seconds. For example, I knew about the Haiti Earthquake immediately.
The Bloom Box will bring electricity to the bush, too. It will be a boom in Africa because it requires no power grid.
