Just thot today I should deviate from my usual posts topics; Btw today is casual friday, normally the first friday of each September where you buy a sticker for R10 around Kes80 and all proceeds go to the disabled, and you get to dress in casual. Being a banker this is a big thing. lol
I graduated from Nairobi University, a few years back, when VB was the in thing thats before .Net and all other good things that followed. But ofcourse at UoN we didn’t study VB, well its was eventually introduced, but by then I had finished the unit and moved on. So I studied MS Dos.. and no I was not there in the 90’s or 80’s its post 2K(u can try figure my age range from this)..
So I learnt MS Dos which of course I have never used. But my point is, Insead a top European MBA destination university is holding a global information session in Second Life..If you don’t know second life.. its a 3D virtual world, where you create your own avatar., and can shop, buy stuff, meet people.. etc.. here is the link.
Ok.. lets assume secondlife is too far fetched for our local universities, because you also require decent bandwidth and a good computer to access.
Here in SA, there was a discussion with a music lecturer in Wits University and she was preparing a paper on AutoTunes.
No, her motivation was not Jay Z’s song death of autotunes, but the fact that music is now turning very mechanical and no longer does it matter how well a musician can sing, since the voice can be digitally enhanced.
This got me thinking.. I hope the syllabus at our Universities and schools has moved to include more than Nyatiti and Sukuti drums, yes they should be taught but we should also be relevant and teach what is current so that our graduates are relevant.
Anyway, this was juts my 2 cents ..
