TODAY'S MEANING OF TECHNOLOGY

 Life has proven to be tricky in Africa with most of us flooding schools for knowledge and yet there are still greater things to be achieved compared to just picking up a university degree. Uganda my mother land is full of milk and honey yet we youths of this nation have not taken advantage of internet opportunities available in our vicinity. 

I at the age of 23 make a decision never to dream small and wll ensure I become what am meant to be and do every possible thing as long as am not stealing from anyone. This move will be put forward to change our entire home and let the younger generation know that we are born for greater things in life which are far much different from books. 

In this era of the fastest technological evolution, internet business is the way to go and time has already come when most jobs have been replaced by robots. The human race is being replaced by machines at the place of and in China, most hotels and restaurants so far use robots as attendants to their customers. I see the future moving into a time when we will no longer need bus drivers and taxi drivers when all these vehicles will be driven by robots. The future of business has changed and is yet to change further, most people including Africans will be comfortable with online purchasing of what they want and this will ease trade and customer acquisition. 

The future of fiat currency is stumbling with the innovation of cryptocurrency which is a digital currency synthesized by a mathematical algorithm known as the block chain technology. The most funny thing is, this currency which include bitcoin is not controlled by any central bank. This money technology could a key eliminator of all online third parties bankers like paypal and visa since it supports the direct payment for any good or service from the seller not again using visa credit cards. Instead mining companies have come for example Hashflare which mines bitcoin and sell it to individuals and companies online. To buy any cryptocurrency online, we purchase through our online wallets coinbase. Many technological changes are yet to take place in a few years to come and this will mean we should all open up a selling or money saving platform online.
