Africa And The Internet

No one expects the Black Continent to be competing with the Japanese as far as internet usage is concerned, but few people know the seriousness and sadness of the situation. With the exponential growth of the Internet and the Web 2.0 services, the gap between many African nations and the rest of the world is becoming too big to handle.

According to the Internet World Stats, less than 6% of Africans are connected to the internet. Compare that with almost 27% of the rest of the world, and you will have an idea of the technology gap distancing the two. The sad part, in fact, is that there are a number of countries that have decent percentages, meaning this number is not an accurate representative:  read more »

Broadband Prices: Egypt vs UK

Taking into consideration the significant gap separating the two countries in terms of economical power and technological development, Egypt seems to be exceeding expectations and providing some serious competition. In fact, the land of the Pyramids was one of the first countries in the world to offer free dial-up connection nation-wide. And just as you’d expect with any new technology introduced in the market, the prices start outrageously high, and then calm down to reach logical levels. With broadband (or ADSL, as it is referred to in Egypt), it was no different.  read more »

Egyptian film posters


These amazing examples of vintage and colourful posters truly reflected the state of Egyptian cinema in the “good old days”. Not only did Egyptian cinema represent a thriving and creative industry, where talent and creativity naturally flourished, but it also showed an amazing attention to detail. Today’s films are bland at best and awful, uninspiring, lacking on the talent front and quite frankly criminal, if we’re being completely honest. The posters speak for themselves. This was an era when only talent and creativity made it. When vision was appreciated and implemented for all the world to see and cinema goers to enjoy.
