MOP: from the BBs, laptops and cellphones are the best thing to happen to Africa in many years. Remember they don't have an infrastructure.

imagine trying to run a business with no landlines. Imagine trying to run a school with no textbooks. Cell phones and laptops are a Godsend to Africa. There is already solid evidence that cell phones significantly increase people's income. Access to the internet is an obvious benefit as well.
