There was a time when the Atinka family were farmers. They only knew how to farm since that was the only work their predecessors taught them. They had a family land very small but big enough to feed the whole family. Everyday, they went to plant and when it came to harvest, they did it diligently. In the family, the men did most of the farm work (from weeding using cutlasses to planting mainly).
Then the cycle began again as it had for years before. Mr. Atinka had a friend Mr. Akoto,who had been to school in the city and understood the need for change so on visiting his old friend after retirement as a Mechanical Engineer, he decided to introduce to the Atinkas what he knew that could help reduce human labor on the farm and at the same time, increasing farm produce.
Mr. Atinka did not love the idea initially for one simple reason. To him, the question he kept on asking within his mind was, “what if it doesn’t work as promised and we loose everything”. To Mr.Atinka, his family had used a strategy for years and it had worked for generations so why change it now? These were the valid concerns of the head of the Atinka family so he declined the opportunity to retire early and have a residual source of meal for he and his family.
The point of this story is to bring out the importance of change which is inevitable by the way. It is to show you how the acceptance of a new way of doing things could save generations to come the hustle the old generation went through. Take the blockchain for example, it is a new way for people to build trust and keep track of a myriad of information such as Land titles, Birth Records and a whole lot.
I hope this not so perfect story in a way incites you to look up to the future with hopes of greater joy.
Have interesting lifes
I look forward to writing such a good piece as you do. It's great bro. Yere wo ho.
Beautiful story, what happens is that many of our predecessors is not that seintan resigned to the changes, only that they will feel less useful, they were always active is one of the reasons I notice. Despite the age they may have, they want to feel active since most of their lives have been workers. But of course, technology, new machinery that achil ajilizar work without so much human effort is the reality more fruitful for new generations and above all greater profits.
Well it's a unusual way to compare this farmer with blockchain. There are so many ways to get information on the internet nowadays. I don't really see the connection with the story of this farmer.... so help me .....

Very interesting story. Your story is very common in our country. People are not open for change. Humans will not take risk for a change. Good thing, that the new generation is now trying. Thanks to the presence of social media it opens up the mind of people to become optimistic for change. Your post is worth the read as it captures the heart of the many. Thank you for the wonderful share.
