Question

how media and networking contributes to development of country

Answer 1

Media and network contributes a lot in the development of country because we get awareness about almost which
we can't even think .

Answer 2

My side of the developing world is missing a whole generation of youngsters who have left for the diaspora and left behind family and loved ones. This separation would have taken a huge toll on these social relationships in the snail-mail era.”

“The thematic issue is the impact, which I think is profoundly positive on this generation going forward. Most social networks allow file sharing which could benefit invaluable resources to developing countries – I have sent several software drivers to my partner in Zimbabwe. Developed countries have moved on to e-government such that people from developing countries can access facilities to access college application and visa requests that where inaccessible before. This is not all as positive as it sounds because the down side is brain drain and other ills like proliferation of economic refugees from my country.”

“We can get more benefits from the SNS sites in terms of:
- More friends,
- Better connectivity,
- Link with prospective recruiters.

Hence we can get more negative impact in terms of:

Innovative ways of utilizing these tools by connecting directly with customers are being found and for marketing, at the end the developing countries sure have more benefits from SNS sites, but we need more harmonization of ICT policy and its legislation in order to develop the current situation of the telecommunicate infrastructure facilities.”

“SNSs have a big impact especially in the social and technological lives of the younger generation. Most people I know have an SNS account which they use to share, inform and reconnect with friends and relatives. If you need to get in touch with them and catch up on any issues or on their lives they simply say "ndibate pafacebook" which literally means "get hold of me on facebook". They are used to spread messages, share information and news about oneself and to keep people updated. They are also used for educational and business purposes, where people form groups and interested parties join the group. They are useful for mobilisation as well as promoting certain causes/issues. This makes it possible to reach a wider audience, to get more support, e.g UNIFEM's say not to violence campaign. While they may be termed SNSs, they have evolved as people have found more uses for them other than for social reasons. They have an impact on all aspects of life.”

“SNSs are important especially for businesses as they are cheaper to setup, maintain for marketing purposes. They rarely go experience frequent outage like some websites outage and provide an opportunity to reach out to a larger market for potential customers in different regions.”
