Abstract

Africa promises a challenge to the world. Many tech companies will continue to move to Africa to test new technologies on what they believe is fertile ground for a large-scale future market in smart phones, drones, and new services. The largest impact on world politics over the next 30 to 50 years will be from Africa's young people, who will rise in influence more than any other nation. Large-scale companies are creating start-ups and headquarters in Africa, using the continent to test market products and technologies. African news media collaboratives have proven to serve as strong investigative community units against government corruption and serve as a model for other media groups wishing to do the same in their nations.
