The hand and the keyboard: What humanity for sub-saharan Africa?
Authors

Abstract
The hand here represents
values and the keyboard also represents the digital in all its ramifications
and components. Indeed, this contribution intends to evaluate the digital in
relation to African values that scrutinize the meaning of our actions according
to the values we hold. Without such an effort of critical discernment, the
digital in its deployment in Africa could become hollow very quickly and
insubstantial, or even lose its usefulness among the principles that are likely
to guide our actions and serve as our compass. In a
sociological-phenomenological approach, this reflection invites us to question,
in its depth dimension, the necessity of the use of digital technology in
Africa which often contrasts with our values or to give ourselves the means to
appreciate the possibilities that digital technology ofters or those that it
prohibits. In this sense, the objective under adjacent is to rethink the
digital in reference to our values so that the African man does not fall into
decay.
