In my opinion, South Africa has grown in the past few years, making it one of the most technologically advanced countries to date. Which is impressive...Every year the number of people connecting to Internet is growing aswell. Internt is used in many forms such as; advertising a new line of clothing, announcing that a function will be taking place via Facebook or Twitter, which are other well known social mediums. The downfall though is that it is very expensive to maintain the Internet but other than that it's a great tool to use. The other amazing thing is that you can have a normal conversation via Skype with your sister who is in England and you in South Africa.
There's also wireless Internet, which many companies use to make it easier to connect with Internet, wherever you are.
And through the years, Internet inventions has literally changed the way we live in society by changing the way we communicate with one another.
We've improved our communicating skills and there is still alot to learn!
Indeed with no doubt there is a lot to be copied from other countries in order for us to better more our internet, one of the main challenges we are facing is that is to educate rural primary kids on how to operate the computer because they face challenges once they get to higher education institutions.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucky there,children from the rural areas are not technologically advanced therefore a lot should be done down there..and as for organisations they really have to use the social media instead of the traditional media that is soo out-dated
ReplyDeleteYes Lucky and Thobeka it is a real problem especially in rural areas. But hopefully in the future things should be bettered in all areas of Africa.
ReplyDeleteWe have indeed come a long way as far as technology advances are concerned, but it however seems like in South african rural areas there isn't any difference as far as technology advances are concerned. For instance an average 16 year old individual from the rural areas still does not know how to operate the basic part of a computer , the mouse. In your opinion Miss Alter would you say that South Africa is still growing in technology and if so, y? and if not, who would you say is to blame for it not continously growing.
ReplyDeleteYes South Africa is growing, but slowly. There is alot to learn about technology and things are changing so South Africa would then have to find a way to move forward in terms of technology and also find ways of reaching rural communities aswell.
