technology from the imperial age of Africa lead to the technology they have today in Africa. the steam engine made it possible for Europeans to travel in Africa and most of the technology used in Africa today come from foreign sources, technology is a great thing but in Africa it has lead to a lot of conflict, Europeans used "guns germs and steel" to conquer Africa and the technology they used to conquer it is now being used to fight many wars, wars mostly fought for resources like diamonds. they say that money is the "root of all evil" and this appears to be true in Africa due to all the fighting going on.
This technology has helped Africans battle diseases but it has also lead to many chaos and conflict between Africans and other countries. the technology has helped people to get diamonds but it has also helped refuges like the R.U.F to take away many lives and violate the natural rights of man. this technology also made Africans divide into many different tribes and due to this they don't come together and they fight among themselves.
The technology might have lead to some economic growth, but in my opinion the bad overshadows the good of the technology. it has hindered the social growth of Africa dramatically, Africans became divided and most of them have lost there original culture and Wat of life. it has also hurt them politically because due to wars alot of African nations are never stable and there political leaders sometimes don't make good decisions. the technology has brought more death and destruction than peace and prosperity.
i think this was well thought out and very highly filled with the right information, however you may want to explain how they used germs as an advantage against Africa. You may want to add how the Europeans brought diseases to Africa and how they used the fact that they couldnt afford any medicine to recover from it leading them to be weak and vulnerable for take over.
