I thought of something today and want your thoughts. What if IT modernization plans in Africa are part of a plan to train Africans as third-world cheap labor and expand outsourcing even more? (Conspiracy)

Things like One Laptop Per Child, Google and Facebook's internet balloons, etc.

I mean it's not like there's a shortage of H1Bs and cheap Asian call centers, but it's not like multinational corporations have a built-in stop switch when it comes to maximizing profits and further "diversifying" the labor pool to drive down wages even more than they already are.

It could be just an innocuous program to help African schoolchildren learn computers, but as with anything that involves Silicon Valley, I'm always skeptical of their ulterior motives.

What do you think?

The average difference in intelligence between Asian populations and African populations is huge. That is one reason this won't happen is that in Africa even if the powers that be wanted it to. Unlike e.g. China Africa is basically a continent of violent retards.
