Interesting to see how this post has evolved. One consistent thing I see in all postings, is that "We Believe, we CAN and we SHOULD."
While many will rush to blame education system, I believe in it strongly. It's not perfect, but I am very sure that they are not what is holding us from Success. At all.
Don't we have 'successful' people who are doing nice things to society now, and never stepped out of the Country for Education?
Would be glad to be corrected, But we are on a Slow But "Most Sure" path to NICE things.
And to be futuristic; Here's examples of how I see it.
- That in x Years, Kenya will have 1000's KM of a Perfect Rail system, supported by a Robust IT system.
- That in x years, Kenya will have fully functional Traffic Lights in all Roads, again supported by a Robust IT system
- That in x years, Kenya will have a Fully automated Social Security System, tied to ones Property, Address, Family, Cars etc etc.
- That in x years, Kenyan Counties, will be fighting to have Fully Automated Govt services, for Utility payment systems et al, again supported by IT systems.
I could go on and on...... This is just a snippet of my Wish List and Dream for .KE . As you will notice, all are related to IT, I have not mentioned any non-IT projects which may be more important to Wellbeing of Citizens. Plus, at-least I don't just Dream of My Big Home and My Big car, in x years. :)
Maybe it's time we debate less, and put in more of this time, to Work. Let's review as we progress.
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.
