Since my introduction, I've been looking forward to writing my second post in this community. Thank you for exposing me to this blockchain platform, @mcsamm. Of course, the hive ecosystem contains everything necessary to make everyone's stay a memorable one. I hope that my message today is beneficial to someone on the hive blockchain.
Looking at the blockchain, it is undeniably a location where everyone, particularly business people, may benefit. But I'd want to relate a circumstance I've encountered in Ghana with all of my readers. It was a moment I had today while wandering through a market in Kumasi. There are a lot of individuals at this place. Because this is a market area, all transactions take occur here.
However, how will women and other market participants be allowed to join the hive ecosystem? It would be a pleasure to have them all share these lovely things. Once this is accomplished, they will be able to share their market items with others on the blockchain as well as the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, the majority of the folks visiting these indigenous marketplaces in Ghana have no or little computer literacy. This seems to be an impediment for people who are unable to use computers or smart phones. If this is the case, does hive become accessible exclusively to those who can converse well with computers? I want to find a method to share all of the advantages of the hive blockchain with individuals who have little or no computer abilities. I believe it will be of great assistance. All thoughts and recommendations are welcome.
I want to invite you @mcsamm @collinz @dswigle and others to share their thoughts on this. Thank you for stopping by today, everyone.
I'm happy to see you share this bro @aquatp2. It will be a great honor to have our market women onboard. But since most of these women are illiterates we as their children and their own grandchildren can make good use of the blockchain just as said by @dswigle. There are few of these market women who can even operate a smartphone. Most of them make use of old java/symbian type of phones and what they basically do is calling and cannot even reply texts..There are others who are really good because they have a secondary education. But we can still be of great help to them all with the blockchain.. Imagine if their children post photos about their products on the internet. Thanks for this and keep doing more.
I am sure that one cannot jump right into the pool with no skills. Just like everything else in life, it has to start from the beginning. Are all of these people literate? If not, that must be accomplished. Do they have children? I taught my mother and grandmother how to use a computer. They also had local classes where they lived for all ages on how to learn (from step one) Many charitable organizations here do that. There are many charitable organizations I know of over there that offer it, but, I am not sure in your area. Sam @mcsamm may have that answer. Do they have the extra money for a phone and service? Older/younger people here in the US sometimes struggle with that. The services here can be unaffordable. Do they want to learn? Is it something they are looking to do? Hive takes a great amount of energy and time to do well in it. It is not as simple as wanting to do well, however, I have found that making time for it is something that is possible, even if not enough some days.
We need to keep balance with real life too, I realize that.
Of course, it would be nice to hear everyone's story! I offer you the same. What do you think you can offer to help these people become literate in computers? Teaching them to become acquainted with the computer?
I am glad to see you are back once again! I see you were here in 2017! Where have these years taken you? I have to ask why you did not continue your journey?
I like to see positive energy working!
