Ghana's Digital Dilemma

Some random reader writes: "Here is a fascinating Technology Review article about information technology in the West African nation of Ghana. It's an illustration of how new technology relies on, and can be hampered by, old technology. It's also a testament to the ingenuity of the people there who are working to maintain and update the country's IT infrastructure. These folks are working with a terrible phone system and frequent power outages, but they still manage to succeed."

    Not at the moment they won't. Germany 1 - 0 USA.

    As an Englishman, I'm torn. I mean, I can't stand the Americans as much as the next AC, but we can't have the Germans win.

    Who am I kidding? USA! USA! USA!

    This is a story about poverty and nothing else. Sorry but the review is off topic.
