COMPILATION OF MR OKOLO EMMANUEL SEMINAR PRESENTATION IN GFL WHATSAPP GROUP.
Topic : How best we can utilize the internet for a more comfortable and better life*
Here is a poem about the internet
*oh!internet*
*friend or foe*
*make or mare*
*two sides of a coin*
*double edged sword *
*that's you*
*relativistic!*
*(Emmanuel, 2016)*
Yesterday a single mum smashed the computer she bought for her son all because he was surfing porn sites.
In as much as the internet has it's shortcomings which I still argue to be relativistic, it's good sides can't be over emphasised. For the purpose of this seminar/discussion tonight, I will be centering on how we can use the internet to better our lives
To make this more practical we will be looking at the life of Mr. A and how we can use the internet in making his life less stressful and better;
Mr. As a young entrepreneur who is into dry cleaning services. He left his former organisation cause he wanted to be his own boss. Starting his dry cleaning business wasn't easy at first, but with support from family, few friends and wife coupled with his zeal to succeed, he found him self on the right track.
However Mr A has some few problems:
*He wants more people to patronise his services*
*His target for increased patronage are the creme de la creme*
*He needs to get some new machines and he he scared of buying from the wrong people*
*His new market would need to book for his services before time*
*His wife complains that he never remembers her birthday*
*He hates carrying huge amount of money with him, and also hates going to the bank*
Now if these Mr A's problems can be solved he would live a better life, happier life and comfortable life. Solving these problems rests in the hands of *Mr Internet*
Now *Mr Internet tells Mr A how he can solve his problems:
* Create a website: By doing this he can advertise his service online via the internet, thus increasing his market.
Use the social media: The social media as we all know is the driving force of many businesses now. If Mr A can advertise using social media, the sky is his starting point
Create an email: Mr A's new target market won't have the time to always call they would rather send you a mail which is easier and more professional.
Shop Online: Mr A dosn't need to travel round Nigeria to get his new machine, moreover he dosn't know where to look since the last time he bought them. Also he could read reviews of people about the product online before leaping....like the saying goes "look before you leap" the internet can help him look by allowing him to shop online.
Online banking: Since Mr A dosn't like going to the bank or carrying money with him, the internet allows him do all his transaction online.
send birthday cards online: Mr A would always forget his to buy his wife birthday card on her birthday. Mr internet said why not send it to her via me. Does she have an email? and Mr A said yes.
After consulting with Mr Internet
Mr A was so happy, he felt a huge load was just taken off his back, he could breath a sigh of relieve.
Before walking out of Mr Internet's office he saw Mr B , Mr C and Mrs D who came to appreciate Mr Internet for making their lives better. Then he asked Mr B and Mr C how Mr internet did that and they said;
*Mr B*...... I was having issues getting a job, but thank God today am employed thanks to Mr Internet
*Mr C*..... I am a pastor and wanted to increase the number of soul for God, and God told me to consult Mr internet to increase my horizon. God told me to tap into the power of the internet. Today everywhere in the world my messages is been streamed live online.
*Mrs D*.... I wanted my voice to be heard. I am a writer, I wanted to impact humanity with my words. Mr Internet helped me with that, today am a blogger.
Mr A said..."indeed you are a life changer Mr internet, you have made our lives better"
Thank you for reading!
