Why blog though??

'So, you mean to tell me that you are just going to spend endess hours typing about how incredible your day was and post it...i mean who cares??' she asked. It got me thinking about how the importance of information communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural areas of my country South Africa is not yet recognised. There is still a huge gap (aka digital divide) in these areas. Most people are only familiar with social networks (especially chat rooms) as they feel they benefit from this. But measures needs to be taken by our fellow university students (as they are more exposed to icts), the local government (whom can initiate programs especially to primary students). It's so sad to see a high school student without any clue on how to search and save iformation for an assignment on the internet or how to use microsoft word to put it all together. I cannot blame them though, we were not exposed to that part of the digital world in our junior years. I remember my first year at a university, being exposed to online content and Wi-Fi and everything digital; there was a time i thought "wow, there's a whole new world out there on the internet". I mean, there's every info you can think of, from jokes-quotes-motivations-insults-fashion-poetry-art-music-celebs-astrology-everythinnng!! I used to spend hours searching for my favorites, interests and that's when i realised that i belong here too. I remember coming across a quote while i should have been studying, it says "the work you are doing when procrastinating it's probably the work you should be doing your whole life" and that's when i was like YEAH, there's no turning back now and i am here to stay!
