HOW  WE CAN USE ICT AND MODERNISATION TO DEVELOP PEOPLE AND CULTURE?

I see that the ICT has a huge influence on culture development as discussed below.

Traditional wear ICT has increased the adoption of western culture styles for example in our traditional culture people used to wear backcloth but nowadays they have decided to adopt to western culture styles since they can now use ICT to google the trending designs which have modernized people and their culture.

Communication Initially communication was delivered or conveyed physically and hand written hard copies where one could move kilometers and kilometers to deliver a message in our rural areas which made communication hard because it could take long for the message to be delivered but due to the trending technologies under ICT communication became easy where one can be able to send a message and it is delivered in minutes hence easing communication

Education The information technology enables data access from anywhere, this can uplift the level of education by using ICT to do research and awareness for many people especially in rural area, also it can help propagate instant messaging which also increases people awareness and ensure their inclusion in what’s happening around them. Additionally, the teachers can prepare the lessons that increase the learning and understanding of students by using the ICT gadgets

 Land Surveying Many years ago in our cultures people didn’t have land titles knowledge, all they believed in was to have many hectares of land but not minding whether it is registered or not, but due to the upcoming technology under ICT that has boosted land surveying in my culture which made people to be aware of the value of registered land after ICTs results in surveying land for example people in my culture didn’t know that when land is titled using the ICT technology, the land becomes more valued.

Development Agriculture Sector ICT in my culture has develop agriculture in the society, for example the use to telephones where farmers can easily communicate directly to the buyers in the market, and also communicating with the agriculture specialists in case the farmers want to do some consultation on the treading farming methods, and also ICT has helped farmers do research on new herbicides and pesticides that can control diseases and pests effectively and all that can be accessed on the internet hence developing my culture from practicing traditional farming to modern farming.

Engineering ICT has brought modernization in my culture in way that it has boosted the infrastructure, some years back in our culture building a grass thatched houses was seen as development, but now since there’s ICT which has helped people in different cultures to Prepare build plans for the buildings hence ICT has boosted modernization of culture through infrastructure.

Critical modernism can be understood as a wide sweep of ideas, particularly encompassing thinkers such as Habermas and Gramsci [1] .  But it has only a small explicit footprint within development studies largely triggered by a chapter in Peet & Hartwick’s book Theories of Development , published in 1999 [2] .  Itself developed from earlier work, this was particularly a response to “post-development” ideas that arose in the 1980s. Despite subsequent editions of Theories of Development , the core text on critical modernism by Peet & Hartwick remains unchanged, and the specific notion has gained little overt traction in...
