Abstract
Those cast-off flip phones we all used before replacing them with smart phones have made their way to developing countries in Africa, where even the poorest residents use them. Shaker, a mass communication expert and PSU professor, has found that “dumb phone” technology offers a portal to Ugandans that can help educate and elevate families on everything from national politics to public health.
