We should go ICT

Dear editor, Allow me to tell the developing world and Rwandans in general that our way forward is through ICT. Everything nowdays is computerized and if you computer illiterate you are doomed. The world is far ahead of you. For the days of carrying pens and booklets in our pockets are gone. We now carry laptops or flash disks that contain thousands of voluminous books.

Dear editor,

Allow me to tell the developing world and Rwandans in general that our way forward is through ICT. Everything nowdays is computerized and if you computer illiterate you are doomed. The world is far ahead of you. For the days of carrying pens and booklets in our pockets are gone. We now carry laptops or flash disks that contain thousands of voluminous books.

It is however, noticeable that Rwanda is far ahead in this process. But some people have real computer phobia and cannot learn how to use them. They are the people you see learned and in big jobs but cannot touch a computer. If they are still computer illiterate, how will they spearhead the ICT age?

Government should work out ways of getting all their big men computers so that they learn to use them, and to encourage youngsters to use them when they already know how to use them too.
