Mobile Technologies Impact on Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
Mobile technology today is increasingly being used to help improve underdeveloped and developing areas such as Sub-Saharan Africa. With the statistics showing the number of adults in Africa owning mobile devices steadily increasing, mobile technology has been a popular area of interest to use to help improve areas such as healthcare and education throughout African cities and rural areas. The purpose of this chapter was to examine the different ways mobile technology was being used to help the residents of Sub-Saharan Africa in the sectors of healthcare and education, and examine the possible ethical effects these technologies could be having. The study concludes that while the mobile technology can be implemented to help better the standard of health and education, it is mainly focused on urban areas and contributing to a poverty imbalance between urban and rural Africa.
