I would like to see an African communications technology company at least. <br /><br />Watch out! Africom (US pentagon africa command) is now in most of Africa, and China is heavily involved in 'developing' Africa as well - these two powers are fighting proxy battles with Africa as the battlefield. The fun technology is one part of this new reality. <br /><br />Besides, at this point where I live, many of us are beginning to give up this technology (esp facebook) by choice, because it has reduced social interaction to standardized information. <br /><br />I am sure that many Africans see America in a way that many americans cannot (bc they are blinded by the CIA controlled media). Do not let africa become a home to such domestic propaganda. <br /><br />Besides that, I would be very curious to see RIM's involvement in this movie - I can at least be sure they were aware of the film's existence (their registered trademark is in the film's name).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957153574047966177.post-1840443417644544572011-04-06T20:27:36.893-07:002011-04-06T20:27:36.893-07:00RIM has fallen behind but they've done it in A...RIM has fallen behind but they've done it in Africa. I didn't now Whatsapp was just like BBM but my Tanzanian friend did say Whatsapp is a BBM knockoff. Blackberry has people hooked and it's now a trendy thing. Even I, am thinking of getting a Blackberry for when I am in Ghana. Unless I can convince all the smart phones folks to use Whatsapp.<br /><br />@Anonymous - you raise a good point.

I used to have a BB and happily got rid of it for my far superior android. I still have a form of BBM with "WhatsApp" which does exactly what BBM does but does it cross-platform. You can use it with BB, Android and iPhone users. Now THAT'S global technology.<br /><br />As for the film, I watched it and found it hilarious but it was also a sad indictment on how materialistic some people can be and all in pursuit of a phone!Sankofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747229111296889760noreply@blogger.com
