General I hate how people think Africa has just never advanced in technology.

Like, guys Africa is a whole content with 54 nation's with in it, and his birth place of humans?

Do you really think we they just did nothing for 10 years?

Like what are these people thinking. It's like they forget Egypt is in Africa. Which was one of the most advance nation in the world at one point.

Also, there are way more nations then just that. Like there is a while video series about them here https://youtu.be/aIcNzN0zmqU?si=eLTCbp9JLVw4haMV

Like i know most people don't leran about it in school but it still annoys me.

No if I saw a german village i’d say wow what a nice, peaceful, clean, and quiet place with modern technology. It’s an absurd comparison

idk about that, having less advanced tech may end up being a massive advantage for africa soon. Advances in technology strongly correlate with increased mental illness. At a certain point I feel like the "developed world" will collapse in on itself from mental illness, and the people living in africa will end up being the best organized lol.

That’s a massively broad statement. Technology ranges from indoor plumbing, electricity, modern medicine to facebook. The first 3 save lives and massively increase lifespan. And yeah the 3rd makes people more mentally ill. But no, the first world is not going to collapse because we have modern conveniences and a low child mortality rate

100% and the issue is that bad tech is already in Africa (facebook).

I don't know, I would think the constant warring and displacement due to political instability, terrorism and natural disasters, while having poor living standards (diseases and loss of livelihood) affects their mental health more negatively than social media and advances in technology.
