Cape Town - Technology is for everybody, not just a group of "techies" because it has the power to change lives and the way we do things, says Tech4Africa Conference organiser Gareth Knight.

Knight comes across as a passionate crusader for web and argues for wider access to high speed broadband in SA.

"The world is changing because of the internet and we don't have the sense of the changes because we don't know what 100 Megabits (Mbit/s) feels like and what you can do with it," he told News24.
