Tech communities are booming all
over Africa,
says
Nairobi-based
Juliana
Rotich,
co-founder of
the
open-source
software
Ushahidi. But
it remains
challenging to
get and stay
connected in a
region with
frequent
blackouts and
spotty
internet
hookups. So
Rotich and
friends
developed
BRCK, offering
resilient
connectivity
for the
developing
world.

Quote of the
Day
|
|
“
|
Maybe it’s time we
get a toolbox
that doesn’t
just count
what’s easily
counted, the
tangible in
life, but
actually
counts what we
most value,
the things
that are
intangible."
