The article from NextBigFuture discusses how the widespread adoption of cheap smartphones in Africa and Asia is significantly impacting the lives of the poor by potentially doubling their income. It highlights that these devices, now available for as low as $10, provide access to essential services like mobile banking, online marketplaces, educational resources, and job opportunities. The article points out that mobile money services like M-Pesa in Kenya have transformed financial inclusion, allowing people without traditional bank accounts to engage in economic activities. Furthermore, the availability of smartphones enables small-scale entrepreneurs to reach broader markets, farmers to access real-time market prices, and individuals to gain skills through online learning platforms. This digital empowerment is seen as a critical step towards reducing poverty and fostering economic growth in these regions, with the potential to lift millions out of poverty by enhancing their economic participation and productivity.
