In today day two internet training , Mr Perk taught
and show us different website that we as
a journalist can use so as to get facts and findings of different social,
political and economic sensitive issue.
In the lesson also we find there so many website in
worldwide,but Google, yahoo, Facebook,
Baidu, Youtube, Wikipedia, blogspot, windowlive,others are napster, salon,drudge.
After eceiving so many information from Mr Perk who is
our training consultant from VIKES The finnish Foundation for Media ,Communication
and Development form Finland we as people working in media houses we need to so
much effort to make sure we use internet
proffesionally and effectively so as to change the world.
This is due to statistics show that among top twenty
website no media website exist and all those website worldwide , only few media site are in in the list of sites that
has changed the world.
Those sites are
www.Drugdereport.com,which owned
by Matt Drudge (self journalist) who was the first to reveal Monical lewisky
Scandal online, www.Salon.com, and www.slashdot.com.
And some of
media website that show seriousness are Mwananchi Communicatin Limited, BBConline,
Capitalfm and The standard.
While in Tanzania The the Global publisher website and
Michuzi blog are the best blog.
Also through the training we get statistical data of
internet user whereby the website of internet world stats(www.internetworldstats.com)
show that Asia is the leading
continent with high rapid growth of people using internet compared to
Europe,Africa,North America,Middle East,and Austria.
The statistics also shows that China is the leading
country world wide with so many internet user followed by
USA,Japan,India,Brazil,Germany,Russia,UK,Nigeria,South Africa, Turkey, Iran,
Mexico, Italy, Indonesia, Philippine ,Spain, Argentina and Canada.
While in Africa,
Nigeria is the leading country with so many internet user followed by
Egypt, Moroco, South Africa, Algeria, Sudan, Kenya, Tunisia,Uganda and
Zimbabwe.
Mr Perk said that situation it depend with total
number of population within the particular country and the nature of their formal colonialist within this states.
The data showed since 2007 in Kenya, Nigeria ,Uganda and Rwanda the number of
people using internet has rise double each year.
Also in the training we learn how we can use internet
in expanding market through e-commerce and the importance of using media
streaming in our media houses .
Apart from all those positive impacts of using
internet in social, political and economic issue we find that still internet transformation
and uses faces so many challanges such as Transformation from analogy to
digital it is divided.
Many people do
not know how to use digital devices due to poor education system in some of
country especial in developing countries.
Other challenges are Culture imperialism where by most
of people through internet they change totally their origin life style and
adopt foreigner they ignore their own culture system so as to identify themselves
once they are in crowd with different nations.
Poor network infrastructure, computer expenses , global
spread of information has problem too, problem of rehability of superficiality
of information, Plagiarism, IT security concern, spending time in online reduce
the physical interaction with friend, family even mental recreation are other trouble spots of internet uses.
All in all we manage to learn and find out how
internet has changed the world and can be useful to journalist.
