Come to think of it, just
some years ago, we didn’t have the internet, not to talk of mobile phones in
Nigeria but now I can’t imagine a world without my phone or the internet. The
world is at our finger tips and with just a click or swipe on your phone, you
can pull out the most current information around the world in a few seconds.
Telecommunication has changed our lives, has helped to
unite families and improve relationship bonds.

The purpose of the day is
to raise awareness the possibilities the use of the Internet and
other information and communication technologies can bring to societies and
economies, as well as ways to bridge the digital divide. Also to commemorate
the founding of the international Telecommunication Union on May 17, 1865
(history Lessons, ehen?).
From
the days we used to use Nokia 3310, queue up in cyber cafes to send e-mails to
the evolution of smart phones, how has the growth of telecommunications
affected your life and your family? What are your favourite social media
platforms; facebook, twitter, linkedin, Instagram?
