People, Connectedness and Mobiles: How the streets of the mega city will innovate is a presentation I gave at TEDx Stellenbosch on 29 July. The theme of the day was imagining Africa as a vast mega city. The transcript and slides are on the mLab SA website.

Steve, great points. I see a real need for mobile technology in small NGO’s and CBO’s in south africa, especially those engaged in Home-Based Care. The ability to connect and collaborate on data and treatment by mobile means has yet to be fully realized, mainly due to cost and the rather extreme poverty that limits CBO’s.
