(This writeup is not an attempt to provide a theoretical explanation or adjudication to the obvious conundrum about Life before the advent of Social Media nor is it a quest to underplay the fluid and lucid lifestyle our older folks lived within the confines of the indulgences that existed)
Just a little over a decade ago, there were pointers to the imminence of a new world order that eventually would shift mindset, reset direction and unravel the credibility of human behavior and interactions – to be termed ‘social‘; effectively shaking up and utterly displacing once vested barriers to communications and trade. This has been actualized as humans are now presented with an amplified voice across borders, languages, race and nations. It is called ‘social media’ and it drifts afloat the wings of ‘electronic’ reconnaissance.
Huge possibilities presented to humans are here and we all marvel at the reclamation of an erstwhile civilization from barbarian to commonsensical.
They say the constant thing in life is change but its magnitude reinforces the perplexity of future existence and what the world to come would ride on. Nevertheless, while we await manifestation of our untoward fears, let us be reminded to take solace in the war chants that are birthed, the formations overturned, the governments toppled, the revolutions advanced and executed decisively, the cries of the young ones who are made orphans, the dirges sung, oh and the cries of Joy! This is our reality and and we are engraved conspicuously in its glistering portrait.

Mobile applications are taken fearsome modifications. Tik Tok rules! gaining traction amongst nascent generations – Z who exbibit no fear, exposing cultural deficiencies, eschewing traditions and reshaping knowledge.

Wealth creation and employment opportunities open arms to young creative folks who can transverse territories to proffer solution to palpable challenges at the forefront of human existence.
