IT’S
Tuesday, 12 Feb 2013, another day of Internet training. Today I
have learned a lot including how to make a blog, posting/publishing materials
on it, and even editing.
In fact,
before this training I have been possessing one but it was made for me by
someone else. But from now on I may create another for me or someone else and
even teaching him/her on how blogs are being created. Interesting thing is that
it only takes few minutes to create one.
From the
training I have also managed to see statistics that indicate different usage of internetin the world, down to Africa.
As a
journalist in print media, I have also learned how the use of internet as a new
media is posing a threat to the survival of newspapers if they fail to cope
with the situation. I have noticed that media now, apart from having their own
websites and update them frequently, they have to writing more features,
stories full/heavy of background and, entertainment
and sports.
I have also
noticed how I can one day open a free radio station through internet as my
colleague Tanzanian who lives in Detroit, America, M M Mwanakijiji is doing.
Finally, I
have also see setbacks of using internet such as digital divide and cultural
imperialism.
