solving everyday problems with African ingenuity
 


 

Yet another blog collecting instances of cultural appropriation of technology, in the case of ↑Afrigadget it’s a group-blog: “The purpose of Afrigadget is to showcase African ingenuity with technology. Many times Africans do not have access to the same quality tools or items that are found in other areas of the world. What is available to be used to solve problems or fix equipment can be wide and varied. You would be surprised at what can be made, fixed or created with bailing wire, inner-tubes and wood.” Afrigadget features not only high resolution pictures, but also the occasional you-tubed video clip.
