As I have said before, I think it will. It depends on how fast computers flourish throughout the region. I remember reading in an article that computer usage is going up over 1000% each year. That's big numbers.
No, but the volcanic activity in Eastern Africa might, if erosion of the coast line doesn't happen too quickly.
I like the new and improved question.
I'm not sure. Maybeb if all the infighting stops…
Good answer, my thoughts exactly.
To answer the question that I think you may be trying to ask;
My niece went to Africa for the Peace Corps. The country she went to is named Benin. There was NO electricity, NO running water (it was trucked in on a weekly schedule), and the house she lived in was in fact a mud hut. No telephone and no radio or television. The food was distributed by the same truckers that brought in the water – once a week (UN workers). With that kind of society, I really don't think those folks even know computers exist, let alone the internet!
Oh, and that commercial that you see on TV about the so-called remote village school children (all well dressed, by the way) learning that there is a solar system – You can take that with a grain of salt.
Most of the African nations are like the tiny country of Benin, very poor and very uneducated by western standards. They have lived that way for centuries, and their tribal traditions are not something that they want to change anytime soon. Just like most of the "Native American" tribes here in the United States (even the new casinos bringing in vast amounts of income really haven't changed their traditional living habits that much).
Be careful of the questions you ask, for you just might learn something you really did not want to know.
That continent will never be able to grow as a continent so long as they continue to exist as the international welfare continent. The only thing they have to offer is natural resources for productive countries to utilize.
