VAR a thing of mixed emotions.

With the Video Assistant Referee(VAR), errors will be a thing of the past maybe. During the recent confederations cup 2017, many eyebrows were raised with this system.

 As if that was just the start of it, we shall have a chance of witnessing another teat during the FA cup third round. It has been designed to adjudicate only an error made by the match referee, so diving players may have to find other means of winning some battles on the field. All top flight leagues around the world but most Europe will be the first experimenters of this adventure.

One of the questions perhaps would be whether the replays could be showed at the same time during review for the fans and players on stadium screens. This puts referees in the spotlight in case of any misjudgments and tough calls made. All eyes will gage whether the VAR could fully end erroneous decision making and take away that part of the game that keeps it exciting enough like how we have all been used to in the past or it will be a little more of the same blow from the past. Keeping figures crossed.

New Tech Opportunities in Africa

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are transforming Africa. Across the continent, new startup digital enterprises are emerging, while existing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly leveraging ICTs to expand. Intensified use of ICTs presents Africa’s SMEs with opportunities in virtually every sector as well as room to create jobs. The pace of transformation across Africa, however, is slow and one of the major barriers is poor ICT infrastructure. A number of countries are reaping the benefits of greater digital penetration but others are watching from the sidelines. In Kenya for example, the M-Pesa mobile money disruption has enabled many SMEs to be more efficient.

Android O- Excitement for the next Android version

Android O was first released as an alpha quality developer preview on March 21, 2017. The beta release was on May 17, 2017. A third and forth were released on June 8, 2017 and July respectively.

Social Media over Websites

Social media is the standard currently with this current internet age. There was a thing about Websites that made them highly appreciated and all information on the web was mainly found on sites. Well, that's all history. We witnessing a heavy revolution that is heating us hard. Especially for the IT specialists who had web as the thing. Its only Social media through out. And it won't stop anytime soon. There should be a way out of reviving Websites but I guess there is a master plan that could take people back to the old reality of where it all started.
