The regions with the lowest GDP in 1500 were central and south-east Africa. These regions also had the lowest GDP per person. The world’s wealth in the year 1500 “Slaves captured in raids and war grew in importance as a commodity. Kola nuts were also important, as were the dyestuffs of northern Nigeria. All these goods were highly prized in and around the Mediterranean basin.” (Richard Effland, 2003) Student B Unit 2, exercise 3b Prepare to tell student A about your map. Fools will always exist. And their foolishness will always make the news headlines. But on the other hand, there will always be teachers and parents who see the real value in possessing and sharing knowledge. The internet, however, changes everything. We can’t help but use it to check what’s happening (or has happened) in the world. Schools are probably right to encourage young people to use the internet to find out about the world. It may be right that such a tool will just help us to forget more and more. But at the same time, the continuing popularity of quizzes and game-shows shows us that general knowledge – shared knowledge among a mass of people all part of the same culture and time – is strong enough to remain.
