How well connected is your service, products to others? A connection that isn’t just a connection, but offering added value beyond acceptable standards. Imagine your phone, wrist band, watch, microwave controlling what you may want to eat, go; or check your health status, and doing so in conjunction with other appliances around your environment. The scary aspect is when you, as human, or the natural environment begins to have seamless interaction with these artificial appliances with smart sensors. We live in the present environment when the slow movements of our time, including 3D printing, the makers movement, wearable technology, shall unmake models that bring about change and growth in several economies in cheap but scalable proportions. When smart objects in the streets, at homes, offices and open spaces begin to interact effortlessly. They call it the internet of things-and its started already.

The question I ask, is Africa ready? They say we are the next growth frontier; in what actual sense? Are we ready? Please enjoy the ‘connecting video’ put together by Bassett and Partners for your weekend pleasure.
