One must wonder if the use of East African Social Network sites will be utilized in a way that will benefit the East African people. There is no doubt that they affected the populace of the more developed nations like the United States and Britain but did it become a good thing or has it induced a complacent population that is more concerned with trivial matters? Can social networking provide positive change or will it become the gossip and untrustworthy news source for an entirely new culture and community.
With the advent of online classifieds and other such websites, folks who have access to the internet have the ability to find and offer work and jobs. In nations that are trying to catch up to the technological surge of the rest of the world, this kind of market should be used to bring together the people who have the knowledge and ambition to make positive changes in their own countries.
Most successful small businesses will admit that a well-developed and easy to use website or social networking page can contribute a great amount of revenue and exposure. Potential entrepreneurs are emerging in countries all over the globe with products and services that can be used quite often in places that aren't geographically close at all. Consider that an architecture firm from Kenya can now offer services to a global market. The impact of this, economically, serves to level the playing field on a planet wide market.
A person who doesn't understand that the internet is filled with hokum, second-rate information and charlatans might be persuaded to act in a manner that is detrimental to their own health or economic well-being. The prevalence of coercive ad campaigns online and on social networking sites can be overwhelming.
This fact may seem intimidating to some people. The folks who compete with foreign nationals or migrant workers for jobs in a struggling economy have historically been working labor jobs. The use of social networking on such a global scale now offers the same competition at all different kinds of levels of employment, including the creative, technology and academic fields.
Conservation agencies have also benefited greatly from the advance of such networking in recent years. Large groups have the ability to reach out to many millions of people and have taken advantage of that for many years. What about the smaller ones? Now they have the same access to the same audience, which brings added benefits to users.
Should these sites use oversight committees or some form of authoritative group to moderate the content? Should they be allowed to run freely? These questions beg to be answered but until the subject itself is allowed to develop a bit more, the only thing that can be contributed is conjecture.
Understanding how East African Social Network use can provide the kick start to local, national and even global economies is the key to understanding how you can lift an entire continent to new heights. Leveling the playing field for the smaller businesses and contractors seems to be a realistic and easily attainable goal. Giving fiscal boosts to areas that have long been neglected can be a way to affect positive change in an area of the world that has been struggling to achieve independent success for many years.
