Day 2

To make the blog interesting, I decided to post in some pictures for viewers to enjoy as they visit.

On the second day of training, we saw ‘Websites that changed the world’ an article written by · J. Naughton  on the Observer, 2006 . My attention was mostly caught by Wikileaks, Creative Commons, and Google. These sites were very interesting because of the features and their usefulness.

The presentation went on discussion of users of internet in the world by numbers, were we saw statistics from internetworldststs.com, were Asia ranks number 1 in the use of internet worldwide while North America who invented internet ranked number 4.

The history of internet was another interesting story were it was founded by the American army then moved to universities were it took 10 years from 1980s to 90s to have internet fully functional. We saw the first WWW page which doesn’t look very interesting but nice to know that it started in Geneva, Switzerland written British national

The discussion was more interesting when we discussed on the survival of print media and how it is being killed by electronic media such as radios, TVs, blogs, etc and that whether the government of Tanzania is killing or promoting the private media in Tanzania.
