How Computer And Internet Have Changed The World by eminentmentor01(m): 7:00pm On Apr 30, 2022 |
HOW COMPUTER SCIENCE HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD Starting from 1980, the computer has been recognized as the most life changing and successful revolution in solving problems in human life. It’s difficult for a business to survive in this modern world without the use of computer either directly or indirectly. In schools and colleges today, students are frequently asked to write “How Computers have changed the world”. Computer has intervened to every sphere of human life starting from the banking sector to cooking, job recruitment, security surveillance system, online, robotic, machine learning, artificial intelligence, traffic controls, etc. Benefit of Computer Easy Communication: Computer has brought people closer today than ever in human history. Before, distance communication was very challenging because you need to write a letter, envelop it, post it which likely will take days, weeks or months but today with the help of computer, communication is being made easily. We have Email, Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, etc. in less than 2mins, you can send a message to as many as possible despite the distance, and you receive reply without delay. Educational Sector: No doubt! You and I can attest to the fact that computer has made massive impact in our educational field. In the 80s, if a student should have any doubt to be clarified in the learning process, finding the right person to itself was a challenging task even if the right person is available on the other side we were not able to know how to get his whereabouts because of lack of communication. But today with the help of Google in educational sector, teaching and learning reached new level. Today MOOC is the form of education that most universities are using to offer distant education and exams. MOOC has become a paradigm in the heart of real knowledge seekers who get new horizon to the world of learning with learner’s convenience. What is MOOC? MOOC is an acronym for Massive Open Online Course. With the help of internet and computer, students are taught by different professors all around the world. MOOC technology are available (both free and paid) for anyone with an internet connection, time and thirst for knowledge. Empowering those overlooked: Computer gave everyone an equal opportunity to evolve. In our society, there are many that are overlooked not counted as important. These can use the internet to make finding in the kind of trade or skills that are available, the course and the expert that can train them in few months or years, these ones will have work to do and be empowered. With computer, small scale business can thrive to find customer, find clients as things like gender, background, ethnicity is not really a barrier. Solving Global Challenges: According to the Google boss, it is our own creativity and innovation that limits the possible use of computer technology. By using computer to help increase energy in society, we can pay water bill from our home, light bill, airtime, order items, pay school fees, book flight, host meeting, etc. With the help of computer, a lot can be achieved many will have work, life will be more easy and money will circulate to people. But according to Alvin Toffer “The Illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn”. Because a lot of us home study a certain career (Doctor, Engineer, Teacher) without thinking of using computer or social media in our field, but today’s world require everything happening in the internet. So if you cannot learn a new skill, unlearn the old things that you spend years to study (even if you are a professor, you have the highest Degree in the world) and relearn the new and effective skills you are going to become the illiterate of our time. Because of this fact, many organizations around the world are putting up measures to create entrepreneurs, training people on how you can effectively use the computer to create and manage your business and with the experience of COVID 19, a lot of people have adapted to it. Currently, we are on a salvage mission to train more people on soft skills (adaptability, entrepreneurship, socialization, networking, public speaking, etc) skills that you can use the computer and internet to create jobs. This training has been going on since 2006, and over a decade now we have trained over 50,000 people in Nigeria and over a million in Africa and Asia. To enroll on the entrepreneurship school, contact the Management of Live Your Dreams Initiative, Lagos to get the nearest office address: 3rd floor, Tantalizer Abule Ado Complex, Old Ojo Road, Opp. Zenith Bank, Satellite Town, Lagos. Call/WhatsApp @ +234 7035374556. The enrollment is free though terms and conditions apply. In summary, you can control everything with the knowledge and application of computer with easy communication system, educational sector, empowerment forum, solving global challenges and lot more. But if for any reason, you are left behind in the world of computer and internet, you will become the illiterate of the 21st century according to Alvin Toffer. Understand the fact that when changes take place, it does not ask for your permission and you have only two options; either to join the crew or you will be left behind and you that is left behind will be the one that will suffer in the future. Remember what happened when educational system started in Nigeria, many families did not like sending their kids to school after some years the same people were the ones that suffered and started forcing their kids and themselves to school even at old age. Same is applicable in the world of computer, for the past three decades, computer has really affected a lot of things in the world even without your concern. All you have to do is very simple; start now for a better tomorrow. Written by Ebet Etukudo The Eminent Mentor, Your No. 1 Mentor in Africa. Book your seat with 07035374556 1 Share
