Hiatus Over

Geez it’s been a while since I’ve been back and I’d like to apologize for the raising expectancies so high with my first article and prodding in areas I’d promised to elaborate on. I’d just like to mention that to this day in Africa there’s really no guarantee that you’re going to get internet access. And good reliable inexpensive internet access for the matter. The rate at which countries of the continent are developing is inextricably different.

In my last blog I touched on various issues such as Poverty and it’s link with Information Technology. I hinted at the fact that the two could somehow contribute to each other, but I will elaborate more once I’ve laid the groundwork for a number of other issues which Africa needs to start considering.

One of these issues is the aspect of Critical thinking or Scientific Thinking and how it can be applied to culture, more specifically African culture in order to bring about positive benefits of technology to African Society. This brings me to one of the topics that’s very close to my heart EDUCATION in Africa. I strongly believe that a strong and solid foundation could be built or established with firm commitment to benefit the multitudes of generations to come now with the use of the internet. That is making the internet cheaper and more accessible through investment.

I am a web developer and my eyes have been opened time and time again by just having access to the internet. The thirst for knowledge was there already even in years preceding my teenage years, and when I got access to the first 386 computer, I wanted to know everything there was to know about computers. Even though the rest of my family thought the interest lay in the aspect of computer games.

Alright I think I’ll end my ramblings on the above topics here and now. There’s so much I have to to talk about, there’s just so much happening in the world of Information Technology.
