Straylight, mala mala, pink frikkie, blekgelexy and rumba kali @ Africa

Abstract

History gives us the opportunity of perspective. But in the "Network Society", time moves too fast for hindsight. An appropriate metaphor is that of quantum mechanics, in which matter exists in two states at the same time. Consequently, the invitation to reflect on what one thought was happening three years ago is unusual. Does anyone really care how extensively Africa was connected to the Internet in 1998?
