Macho hayana pazia

Mdada wa watu ni mahiri kwa kuimba muziki, na hapa anapagaisha wapenzi wake katika moja ya maonyesho yake yanayompatia sifa ulimwenguni kote, ona alivyo, anavutia kumwangalia katika ule msemo unaosema macho hayana pazia.

Maoni yangu kupitia kozi hii

NILIKUWA mmoja wa washiriki wa Semina iliyoandaliwa na MISA Tan, iliyojumuisha Wahariri kutoka vyombo mbalimbali vya habari vya hapa nchini.
Semina hiyo ilihususha pia na waandishi wa habari waandamizi, pamoja na wale wanaoendelea kujifunza fani hiyo.

Semina hiyo iliyoanza Novemba 10 hadi 14 mwaka huu, pamoja na mambo mengi tuliweza kujifunza teknolojia ya kompyuta na vipengele vyake, kikubwa zaidi tulijifunza matumizi ya Internet na matumizi yake katika fani ya uandishi wa habari kote duniani.

Katika mada hiyo, tumejifunza kuwa,matumizi ya Internet ni makubwa, ama kwa lugha nyingine ni kwamba, Internet inaweza kutumika kama nyenzo kubwa ya upatikanaji wa habari katika vyombo vingi vya habari.

Hii ni kwa sababu, kwa kutimia Internet mwandishi ama chombo cha habari husika kinaweza kupata taarifa kutoka kila kona ya dunia, na ndipo unapokuja msemo usemao kuwa, kwa kutumia kompyuta ni dunia ni kama kijiji, ambapo unaweza ukapata taarifa muhimu kupitia mitandao mikubwa ya habari duniani.

Wito wangu, ambalo ni pendekezo langu kwa MISA Tan kupitia kozi hii ni kwamba, pamoja na kushukuru kwa kina kufanyika kwa kozi hii na mimi kuwa mmoja wa mshiriki, ningependekeza kuwa, wakati umefika sasa kwa taasisi yetu hii kuandaa kozi nyingi kama hizi, na kuwashirikisha waandishi wengi wa habari kutoka katika vyombo vingi, na hii itasaidia kuwapa uwezo wa kujifunza jinsi ya kutumia teknolojia za kisasa kupata habari na taarifa muhimu kutoka kokote duniani.
Kufanyika kwa kozi nyingi kama hizi zitasaidia waandishi na taaluma kwa ujumla kufanya kazi zao kirahisi na kwenda na wakari kana walivyo waandishi na vyombo vya habari vya nchi zilizoendelea.

My short comment

Through his article,i realised that, Binyavanga Wainaina is so good writer,to be recongnised in case of writing features, short stories by expresing what African peoples facing alot of problems to their daily lives.

He gives me something to learn., maily about how to express and making point on the issue he raisen.

I obsereving that Africa as if one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very short people who eat primates. Don’t get bogged down with precise descriptions.


Through BinyavangaI believe that, the African continent have so many thing to write and discus about, through many contents which within our daily life day to day.
