Lesson #1: “The human brain must continue to frame the problems for the electronic machine to solve.”
| |
| For a young boy with no formal education, Sarnoff proved to have an unlikely strong tendency towards the two tracks of invention and innovation. Indeed, his musings from almost 90 years ago remain at the centre of today’s digital age. |

I. WHAT CAN MICROFINANCE DO FOR AFRICA?
| |
| When properly harnessed, microfinance offers a variety of benefits to the African people.
Foremost, microfinance initiatives can effectively address material poverty, the physical
deprivation of goods, services, and the income to attain them. When properly guided, the
material benefits of microfinancing can extend beyond the household into the community. At
the personal level, microfinance can effectively address issues associated with “non-material
poverty, which includes social and psychological effects that prevent people from realizing their
potential. |

V. Material Benefits of Microfinancing
| |
| Microfinance initiatives can play an effective role in addressing material poverty, the
physical deprivation of goods, services, and the income to attain them. MFIs can help people
become more economically secure. This, in turn, has a multiplier effect on people's standard of
living, enhancing basic household welfare, such as food security, nutrition, shelter, sanitation,
health and education services. MFIs can help prevent and extricate people from debt.
Oftentimes, they liberate low-income households from moneylenders with outrageous interest
rates that often reach 100% annually. Savings and credit services help people start or improve
their own small businesses, providing income generation and employment for themselves and
their families. |

V. Non-Material Benefits of Microfinancing
| |
| Microfinance initiatives offer more than just material benefits; they can also address

that prevent people from realizing their potential. |

Freedom—or Burden—of Choice?
| |
| We have more material possessions and time-saving devices, but we still don't have enough time. The middle classes of many countries, not just America, have a degree of autonomy and personal control unimaginable to people living in other times and places.

Bonehead Advertising Ploys
| |
| If you really listen to the advertisements on TV, you can either get a lot of entertainment or get pretty sick. The material is full of claims that actually lower the trust in the product or service being sold. Sometimes I wonder who thinks up this garbage. If the objective is to get us to buy more, then why do the moguls of advertising put out this material? |

It starts in the Brain
| |
| Books such as the iconic “How to Win Friends and Influence People” (1936, Dale Carnegie) or “Think and Grow Rich” (1937, Napoleon Hill) are based on the premise that we need to get our minds right before anything else can happen the way we want it to. Look at the book shelves in any bookstore or library and today you will find a plethora of material providing the same basic message.There is no shortage of material explaining the “what”: there is, however, a shortage of material explaining “how” to enable one to shift the area of control in the brain so that everything else can follow.

But don't overlook the opportunities to take your existing material and spin it into other forms. |
