Africa was detached from the reality of other parts of the world due to the lack of internet connectivity on the continent.<\/p>\n
The interaction level with people in other countries was low at the time as it was mostly done face-to-face or by phone call.<\/p>\n
For others to get connected to their friends and loved ones in other parts of the world, one needed to send a letter or run the message by fax.<\/p>\n
But the narrative changed in 1994 when Professor Nii Narku Quaynor introduced internet in Africa.<\/p>\n
Professor Quaynor pioneered the development of internet and its expansion throughout Africa for nearly two decades.<\/p>\n
He also set up key organizations including African Network Operators Group to ensure African countries, especially, Ghana were connected to the internet.<\/p>\n
Speaking on BizTech on GhanaWeb<\/a> TV, Professor Nii Narku Quaynor recounted the evolution of internet in Africa.<\/p>\n
