In fact, it is hard to have a talk that does not touch on the aspect of interaction media in the continent of black people. The increase in the supply of mobile devices plus the availability of cheap unlimited bandwidth has made it easy for Africans to link to different people and events globally.

People from the black continent are now swimming in a digital world. It all seems like magic or somewhat being in a wonderland, but it is true Africans are indeed transforming their technological aspects and approach in a great way. People are changing, communication is improving and companies are depending on the new digital technology to operate.

Research about access to technological devices in Africa indicates that so many people today, than before, have access to cell phones. Further findings reveal that Africa is the second continent after Asia, with the largest mobile phone market in the world. This continent alone has more than 700 million persons who own mobile phones.

The next two years will witness an increase in the number of people using mobile phones. What makes this even truer is that the number of people accessing internet services through mobile phones outnumbers those people accessing the same through personal computers. The reason why there is need to advance the technology level on the continent of Africa is to ensure it meets the spending, purchasing and consumption requirements of the people of Africa.

Most people on the continent access the internet through their mobile phone. In fact, the number of people accessing social platforms through mobile phones outnumbers people using desktop personal computers and laptops to get the same access. This alone, is an enough description that shows how much Africans have taken up great interest on being part of social media platform.

Some research done on social medial like Google plus and Facebook use in Africa shows that over 40 million people are registered members. A further research was carried out to see what devices people use to access these media. The findings indicate that majority are mobile phone subscribers. Because of the large number of users on these platforms, there is a guarantee for further improvements in African market in future.

There is still a gradual process in the mobile technology and come 2016, the number of people with handheld devices is going to increase significantly, meaning that the number of people accessing such platforms will increase as well. Again, with the cheap data rates available on offer across many countries in Africa, it is going to be easy and almost free to access platforms like Facebook, Google Plus among other sites. As such, the economic atmosphere of Africa is going to witness a gradual improvement.

It is clear that African Social Network is not only doing the task of bringing people together for social interest but also for a business cause. Today people are using these platforms for businesses. The general growth of economy on the continent is flourishing progressively.
