Relying on Social Networks Business Promotion, Not Good for Entrepreneurs

Relying on Social Networks Business Promotion, Not Good for Entrepreneurs

Social networks continue to experience a steady increase in users whether for business purposes or personal reasons; ideally, they are meant to provide an essential platform for family members, friends, colleagues and business focused individuals to communicate and share personal experiences and ideas. Before the emergence of social networks, people across the world depended on blogs and forums to communicate online; however they were later discouraged by the amount of efforts required to endure in order to feature on first pages of search engines, major search engines such as Google and Yahoo deployed search algorithms that required one to do a lot of SEO as well as write lengthy posts to be on the safe side. Despite these difficulties, there are those who managed to stay relevant in search engine’s eyes and have are doing very fine.

Social networks are good in terms of promoting your goods and services online; however, they should never be a primary and sole means of publicity. I understand today’s entrepreneurs are always looking for a secret formula or a magic spark that can propel their brands to super heights in an already competitive environment; in most cases, they’ve turned to social networks hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. The world of social networking obviously opened new possibilities for business’s marketing strategies; entrepreneurs who find competition rather too much to beat have had their last resort rest on fans friends and followers from these social networks. The point is, most entrepreneurs feel ‘if they can’t outspend competition, then its still possible to out-friend it ’; the hard truth be told, there are no short cuts to success with any product of any type, social networks such as facebook and twitter have so far gained a wider acceptance and always find a special place in today’s business consultant’s diary.

As a result of limited job opportunities especially in the developing world, entrepreneurship has become a major back up plan for youths aspiring to better their lives and put food on the table. I strongly disagree with an impression created by business consultants suggesting the more fans and friends you have on social networks, the more you are likely to succeed as a young entrepreneur. Social networking should just be a part of several strategies your business intent to pursue in creating awareness of products and services; a simple example is when you are targeting new customers, its probable your friends already know what you are offering, and why they are not buying? It’s up to you to find out. If you ask me, your friends may have already used or acquired the products and services you are offering, new customers will do you good. The most viable method to overcome business downs is by doing a simple research i.e. studying the market trend as well as asking those who have succeed to share strategies they used to build their products and service’s market share.

Customized Technology Solutions for Aging Population/Senior Citizens

Over the past 20 decades, there has been a tremendous and steady growth in the world’s population due to improved health care facilities, sanitation and knowledge; technology has drastically improved administration of health complications as well as reducing infant mortality rates leading to an increase in human population. In addition, technology has also enhanced disease diagnosis procedures leading to early treatment as well as preventing killer diseases. The overall result of improved healthcare administration is an increased life expectancy; today, there are more senior citizens leading a healthy elderly life than decades ago. Technology has caught up with major sectors of our livelihoods ranging from healthcare, communication, war fare and education. In order for technology to remain relevant in our lives, solutions should be designed to cater for various age groups.

There are countless mobile devices from major industry players today than a few decades ago; however, designing technology solutions suiting all age groups from teens, youth to aging population has been a great challenge. Recently at the society for international development world congress held at the Omni-shore hotel in Washington DC from July 29-31, 2011; the world’s aging population became a hot issue where speakers attempted to define exactly to what extend the aging population and senior citizens were relevant to ICT 4D initiatives and what considerations should be adhered to in designing technology solutions suitable for senior citizens. Although there has been an attribution of reduced fertility rates among women due to technology, there are several benefits that senior citizens and the world’s overall aging population can gain from technology;

  • Text messages can serve as reminders for health related issues
  • Mobile Phone money transfer services such as Safaricom’s Mpesa in Kenya can help aging population maintain their bank accounts
  • Social networks can serve as an intermediary between senior citizens and governments in offering services and political participation.

The most obvious fact about technology is its suitability variance depending on age, gender, ethnicity and disabilities; in order for ICT 4D’s to have a significant impact in alleviating social problems such as poverty and improving the quality of life, several aspects must be brought onboard including customized solutions for aging population, considering individual’s cultural factors and stake holders. Technology products such as radio wouldn’t be suitable for individuals with hearing problems just like textual web content wouldn’t be suitable for illiterate individuals. Factors to be considered when customizing technology for the aging population can be categorized into physical such as sight impairment and mobility constraints and cultural factors that may include language, literacy and education background as well as willingness to adapt the emerging technology. Customized technology solutions for different age groups will not only increase sales to service providers but bring onboard all market segments and making every citizen feel part of the organization.

Latest market research indicates a sudden increase in the overall number of Android devices acquired by consumers overtaking iOS to become second after Symbian.

In simple facts, a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet does a commendable job compared to many competing devices out there, it comes with a 1GHz TI OMAP 4430 dual core processor and an amazing 7 inch display panel featuring 1024×600 pixels screen resolution. By no chance, BlackBerry PlayBook’s unpopularity should be blamed entirely on consumers, the manufacturer must hold the lion share part of the entire misfortunes; it was not a complete product when introduced.

Battery Powered Television Sets (TV’s)

Since the introduction of TV’s, rechargeable DC batteries have been of much importance in providing power for the sets, although they’ve come of age after an aggressive distribution of AC power lines by governments around the globe, there are still remote areas where AC power is not available. In addition, technology has brought forth portable TV’s which require battery power to function, most of these devices comfortably fit in your pocket and can be carried around whether on a trip or just away from home. The introduction of TV’s led to emergence of broadcasters who provide TV programming content to viewers; viewers around the world have become glued to TV shows to an extent they won’t do without them, these programs may include sports, lifestyle, reality, music, kids and movies. In Kenya for instance, there are still rural areas not covered by power lines, a lot of people in these areas use battery powered television sets to watch their favorite TV shows.

Solar energy has emerged as a major solution in reducing dangerous gas emissions compared to power generated via oil driven generators; in most cases, solar panels are fitted with a rechargeable battery which stores power that is later utilized to power devices such as TV’s. The first TV sets were mainly powered by batteries and produced images in black and white color scheme; however, there are colored TV’s today which are built with a DC jerk for battery power, inverters can also be used to convert battery current from DC to AC and power AC TV’s. There are several electronic devices such as DVD players, VHS players and remote controls that use battery power to function, most of these devices work hand in hand with regular television sets to add additional capabilities in an effort to enhance user experience. Out of the above uses of battery power to enhance TV functionality, the most common occasion when batteries are used to power TV’s is when going for a trip with family members; batteries enable TV reception as long as the sun is up using solar power.

The length of time a battery can power your TV is solely dependent on TV power consumption and battery capacity, colored TV’s consume much power compared to black and white sets, in addition, traditional cathode ray tube sets use a lot of power in generating images leading to a higher power consumption compared to LCD and Plasma panels. Its also obvious big television sets will take up a lot of power to function compared to small portable sets; in most cases, you’ll receive an AC charger with your portable TV, however, if the unit uses standard batteries, you’ll be required to purchase a wall charger, a 12 volt charger will also do you good for topping your TV up in the car as well. Non portable TV’s on the other hand use 12volts DC standalone acid batteries, you can charge them from a vendor with a charging machine using electricity or just use solar to recharge.

Growth and Embrace of Virtual Education in the 21ST Century

Education is regarded as the main and key pillar to have a successful career guaranteeing financial stability and recognition from society, despite the importance associated with it, education continues to be a fairly tale for many people around the globe. In the 21st century, there is little to be proud of considering a luxury tag placed on it; quality education continues to be available only to the few rich with resources to pay for it. There is however several ways governments around the world have adopted in an effort to minimize the cost of education to their citizens; countries like Syria Tunisia and Egypt have resorted to embrace virtual education as the sole means to bring education in remote areas within their territories; in fact, Syrian government established a virtual university way back in 2002 becoming the first of its kind in Middle East and North Africa.
