Over a million years ago, the making of stone chopping tools and stone hand axes, at Olduvai Gorge of the East African Rift Valley, represented the first step in the great human journey of shaping our world. And for many millions of years, the stone hand axes from Africa remained the cutting-edge technology. That creativity was spread across all parts of the world.
Indeed as our tools evolve so do our ideas, and then as our tools and ideas evolve, so also do we. Our current 21st century world and humankind, through a new set of modern tools characterized as emerging/exponential technologies, stands again at the verge of another radical evolution – a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
And just as with the story of the original beginning, the future of this technological revolution has a lot of promise from Africa. Africa gave the world modern civilization through mechanics of tools and innovations.
