They are thus the custodians of the old wealth and the old ways and are doing everything to protect their position of privilege from being usurped by pretentious nouveau-riche blacks who wants to overrun and nationalize everything in sight. Recent political developments like the ANC youth league president threatening with killing for the very unsuitable presidential candidate does not exactly help in easing their fears.

Maslow applied to the internet as if its a living thing smells like the work of a Californian Ideologist.

I thought this piece will help us understand why people use social networks and how Maslow can explain this.

Anyway, think of a mobile phone as a social network node, and th address book as a friend list. Seen in this way its obvious that social network will have a big impact in Africa.
