An Evaluation Of The East African Social Network

By Jaclyn Hurley


Human beings have developed different languages to ease the process of communication. These languages have different local dialects which depend on the persons and the general use of such languages. In most cases, the languages evolve over a certain period. The dialects embrace the changes within the local environment. The changes in the technology have also brought a lot of changes to these languages. The East African Social Network developed as a result of the fusion between the local dialects and the technology.

Most languages can be directly retraced to the cave man. They were developed so as to ease the process of communications between different people. The early man started off by doing the cave and wall writings. In some instances, wall paintings were used to pass the special messages to the intended persons. Through the paintings and the writings, the special messages could be relayed to the intended persons.

Over the years, the channels of communication evolved as the smoke signals were taken over by the decoded messages on reeds. The encoding of messages ensured that there was no tampering of the messages being relayed from one point to another. In some cases, the encoded reeds were transported by special safes. On arrival, the safes were unlocked and the messages decoded.

The process of encoding of special messages formed the basis of most of the modern encoding procedures used in the relaying of messages. This laid the foundation on which the phones could be developed. Over years, simple telecommunication devices were created. These had simple tools that facilitated the making of phone calls and sending of messages. The tools within such devices had special encoding applications that ensured that the messages did not fall into the wrong hands.

The simple mobile devices laid the foundation for an evolution within the telecommunication industry. Soon, better devices with the ability to accommodate more applications were rolled out. Modern mobile devices are more complex than their predecessors. They have wrapped various applications into one tool. With such devices, one can access the internet at a very high speed, make a video call and play a couple of online games.

The convergence of technology had made the lives pretty easier. The smart phones have an array of applications which can be used for multitasking. With the high internet access speeds, the phones have helped the people to keep in touch with others. There are a couple of online and virtual forums that brings different classes of people together. Through such websites, people can interact and make new friends.

People need to communicate and stay in touch for a couple of reasons. Communication is one of the processes through which people can relay special pieces of information to a number of people. As the information is being relayed, special links are formed by the people within the social groups. Though such interactions, people are able to stay in touch with their friends and families.

The communication channels that have been in use in the East African region have expanded over the years of evolution. The networks have fused with the technology to bring forth a better channel that has broken down the geographical barriers. Through such channels, the locals in different regions of East Africa are put on the world map.
