Among women washers, carpenters, waiters were busy, and the kids were playing in the heat of the hot and dusty air, somewhere in the city of Dakar, the Senegalese capital, start a revolution. Adjacent to a factory, a gray building stands, complete with a sign that read Tablette Cafe.
"This is the first tablet in the world cafe, a cafe that works by using a tablet," said the head of Google in France, Tidiane Deme. The concept is to introduce an Internet search engine, in the traditional way through the cafe. Current and tablet PC was becoming a trend in Africa.
When the owner, Medoune Seck, 33, opened Equinoxe, cyber cafe's name six years ago, he often made dizzy by the frequent power outages and high electricity bills. Then last year, through Google, he was offered a loan to open a cyber cafe cafe which eventually became a pilot.
When the tablet is getting rapid development in a number of African countries, it is also in line with the increase in margin cafe owned by Seck. Cafes tablet provides an opportunity for African people to try to operate it, especially for people who can not afford it.
Equinoxe provides 15 tablets that can be used for video chat. Three PC computers placed in the corner, but the computer seems to attract less visitors than the tablet. Seck said the funds expended to provide higher tablet computer than a PC, but the cost of electric bills are 25 percent more efficient.
"Tablets will revolutionize Africa and Senegal," Seck said. Its use is simple, just by touching the screen, will help users to reach new people. Visitors who come to the cafe tablet, is charged U $ D 80 cents, or Rp 7,800.
