" OrangeKenya: Enjoy more facebook on your phone with 50MB for Kshs. 50 a week. Send a blank SMS to "1234" to subscribe then dial... http://fb.me/tT4Uwdov"
Really,Kenya is busy lacking content despite the three fibre pipes in the country and a probable fourth one looming and all our famous Telkom Kenya/Orange can tout is our Youngsters to facebook more?You gotta be kidding me.If anything was to go by,facebook is destroying creative minds,and instead creating zombies and youngsters who can't think beyond facebook. I recall reading some statistics some time back to the effect that Kenya is one of the heaviest facebook users in Africa and our famous ISP is seeking to solidify that?Really? Again,this is thin line between what facebook can do and what are its effects on our youngsters.Am thinking more in line that when we promote use of facebook,what can we do with it?What else can we build from it to make something sensible?The kawaida banter of I saw you drunk e.t.c is what is being discussed heavily.We seem to cultivate a nature where "intellectualism" lacks and encouraging things that don't add any value to the GDP of our economy e.g. Socialization. Am not saying it bad to socialize and facebook,twitter and all the social networks provide an avenue to that, but bottom line how are the adding up to the Kenya's workforce?Is there a way we can promote that kshs. 50 to direct our energies to something else more profitable to the up-coming workforce,Say Research?Like if you ask me there is huge gap in mHealth.Any service provider willing to help on this?I doubt all we get is them promoting socialization networking sites.Wow...... Maybe we need to focus.
