When I was still a freshman in campus, impatience really used to eat me
up while waiting for my friend to come out of the computer lab. I could
not understand how she could spend more than twenty minutes surfing
the internet since I only knew that guys surf only to check emails and
Facebook which only takes a maximum of ten minutes. This changed when I
started volunteering with DCA, as I continue working I find the
internet more and more exciting to explore and now I can even sign up
for more than an hour.
I feel strange when a whole day passes without me visiting the internet,
it is as if I have done nothing meaningful when it passes without me
responding to my mails and checking out on what we learned in class, the
latest trends in communication and design.
Carrying books from one end to another is not only boring and tiresome
but also looks outmoded. Peoples’ reading culture has tremendously gone
down and I’m not the only one complaining. If you can read an old
boring coursework textbook for more than an hour and still find
yourself concentrating, then count yourself to be among the lucky ones. I
cant understand what happened, I’m always fascinated to learn new
stuff but not through reading old boring textbooks in the libraries.
That is why I appreciate the internet for the various sites of
information, which come with nice colors and fonts to spice up my
reading. I get to read books on the internet and even subscribe for
more information.
I think Dotafrica as the best thing that happened this year since it
has made me discover a lot of things that I was missing out on.
