The average person in South Africa is not tech savvy enough.
Solve basic issues like working electricity, water, sanitation, public transport, etc and see how people will thrive.
That is what you assume.....from personal experience even out here in the bush every tom dick and harry has a smart phone in the informal settlement here, majority on whatsapp, facebook, most of them having older tablets or computers. Library here offers free internet access to learners as well. They even had an state of the art computer lab back in 2010, nothing much left of them now, use to go in once a year to format and clean up all the crap they copied over. The amount of viruses and and malware these systems picked up is absurd, even after having installed antivirus, even created a policy to reject USB devices, but somehow still managed to not update the database. Eventually switched them over to linux and that shyte stopped right away.
Virus pandemic was so bad I add a side hustle of fixing computers, they were all more than happy to pay the R150.00 to get it done. They might not have the latest and greatest, but young and old had some device to connect to the internet.
