It’s a crazy world as nude photos culture grows online


Been offline for the better part of the day due to unavoidable circumstances and this evening, I took sometime to check on what friends have bee posting online. One of the posts was by a “buffoon” who posted her nude pictures on her Facebook page. What attracted me was not her flesh but her more 20,000 liking and over 30,000 shares. The middle aged gorgeous looking brunette seems to have taken those pictures in her bedroom and her Facebook page was flooded with filthy comments from fans. Her nude images seemed to have landed on Twitter as well and are being retweeted at a very fast speed. My moral values cannot allow me to share such images but that does not imply I have anything personal with the nude posing brunette. I really wonder with such people is what will happen to them when they become wives and mothers since it’s not easy to remove the pictures from shared links.
The nude images doing rounds online is no longer a rare spectacle as was the case before posting such is no impressive stunt at all. By doing so, it classify someone as an idiot who does not care about the future and they should know ‘sex sells’ is an obsolete 20th century fashion. However, I think such mindless characters should not penalized because I find such habits personal not public. I am sure many people will keep adding her Facebook and that means we appreciate filthy content online. How does one benefit to post her nude photos purposely or by mistakenly online. Many intentionally post pictures to flaunt their beauty to the online community but it does not make sense beyond those minorities who have rotten morals. People need to be aware of what they are posting about themselves online. Apart from fools, one must understand that whatever they post could have serious consequences whether they like it or not.
Photos posted and shared online can have some negative consequences in someone’s professional life and career. Some liberals would argue that online pictures shouldn't be a factor of employment or act as judge for moral standing barometer in the society, but the fact is that more and more employers and members of the society are taking these things into serious consideration when deciding the fate of prospective friends or employers.  In fact I know of a company in Melbourne that search on social networking sites of prospective applicants to get an idea of the type of person they might be hiring and accepting into their educational institution. It is very important that as an online user you must be aware of your "digital footprints” especially on images, types of photos because once a friend post an inappropriate photograph of you online, and normally, once it is online you have no control over that image or video. I have seen who have posted their information on drinking, others using illegal drugs, and another lot that always post provocative and inappropriate content but neither of them makes you an online hero or heroine.

2013: The year of mobile photography

Today is the 366th day of 2012 and as we wind up, millions of pictures will be taken and shared on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter by people across the world. Young and old alike will take more photographs than any new year celebration before and I bet big that traditional camera makers will miss out on a bigger share of the love. The latest research has found smartphone as one of the two popular devices used for taking pictures together with traditional cameras and is considered to be a bigger motivator for amateur photographers irrespective of the age and gender. Some studies have been quoted as saying that eight in every ten smartphone users take at least one picture a week on their phone, while less than half who use a point-and-shoot camera take pictures at the same frequency.This year, analysts believe that majority of people take pictures with a smartphone with less than a third taking pictures with a digital single lens reflex while a quarter of i...

Telecoms in East Africa should look to data for mobile growth

Mobile network operators in East Africa should look to data traffic growth and increased data prices as a means of arresting voice revenue decline in one of the fastest growing mobile market in sub Saharan Africa. Over the last few months, a couple of operators have been sending pricing signals to customers to help manage this finite resource. Unlike two years ago, there is a clear movement towards data usage among users in the four member states of East African community namely Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda where customers are using less mobile voice and SMS services. The loss of SMS service business is fatal to mobile operators and is highly attributed to the rise of over the top apps such as WhatsApp and iMessage that have become a hit with mobile subscribers in the region. Such apps have provided rich communications over a data connection, allowing customers to forgo SMS use. Customers have an economic incentive to use over the top apps...

Diabetes rising among Africa’s young adults

A group of software developers in Africa are developing mobile health apps among them application that will help monitor diabetic patients. Their interest in diabetes monitoring apps came after Doctors in Africa warned several years back that diabetes is on the rise among young people in the continent, attributable largely to sedentary urban lifestyles and increasingly high levels of obesity. An estimated 29 percent in urban areas and 14 percent in rural areas suffers from the disease, most of them young adults, while 36 percent are at high risk of getting it, according to a study conducted last year. That figure is up from estimates of 2.4 percent in 1989 and 0.6 percent in 1979. The study also showed that Kinshasa, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lagos, Cairo and Dar Es Salaam had the highest prevalence of obesity in the continent, with 51 percent of the 1,000 men and women in the 22 -35 age range surveyed falling under that category. Doctors blame the high level of diabetes in the capital a...
