When I was growing up, anyone who wasn't white was black. It meant all of us. Though when I was at university, we started to be called Asians.

I'd like to see technology to move beyond the hype and be considered part of infrastructure... the way you see access to water. I would like it to move away from apps and mobile money. So that everyone has their TV and their Wi-Fi, and it's just ubiquitous. I think that's where we should be headed.
