Begin quote from page 40 in Time Magazine:
"---As a consequence, only 10% of Haitians have a bank account. But around 80% of Haitian Households have a cell phone. So, the chairman of Digicel, Irish Businessman denis O'brien, worked with a Canadian bank, Scotiabank, to provide a service that lets Haitians withdraw cash and make deposits and person-to-person transfers using their mobile phones without a bank account. By the end of 2011 this service had processed over 6 million transactions.
Similar stories are happening in Africa."
end quote from page 40 to the left of the page from Time Magazine from October 1, 2012.
This is just a hint of how cell phones are changing the lives of almost everyone on earth every day.
In Africa because counterfeit medicines are a very big problem in Sub Saharan Africa so a member of Clinton's CGI created a company called Sproxil so that people can check to see if the medications they have received are counterfeit or not but using cell phones to text a code on any medication to see if it is counterfeit or not.
Though the above information is not a direct quote the information is from the same article I quoted above on page 40.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
