Samia Melhem works for the World Bank to increase information technologies in Africa. She says mobile phones are the fastest growing technology on the continent.
CNN television recently named seven ways of life it says have been revolutionized because of mobile phones. They include political activism, education, entertainment, disaster management, agriculture and health.
Another area is banking. Reports say half or more of the adults in Gabon, Kenya and Sudan use mobile money. Rene Mendy sells goods in the streets of Dakar, Senegal. But he never had enough money to open a bank account.据世界银行估计,撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲国家的手机用户已达6.5亿之多,大大超过了美国及欧盟的手机用户人数。
萨米亚·梅尔赫姆就职于世界银行,致力于推动非洲信息技术的发展。她认为手机是非洲发展最快的科技。
最近,CNN(美国有线电视新闻网)列举了因手机而产生日新月异变化的七个生活方面,其中包括政治活动、教育、娱乐、灾害管理、农业以及医疗。
除此之外,银行业也备蒙福泽。报道称,在加蓬、肯尼亚和苏丹等国家,有半数以上的成年人使用手机付款(移动钱包)。在塞内加尔达喀尔,勒内·门迪走街串巷,兜售商品,但他一直没有足够的钱在银行开立账户。
