Tech passion

In my childhood, I always wondered why kids loved finding out new stuff and most times they would mess up things, but surprisingly that never stopped them from trying so hard to learn and innovate unique stuff. Even when they were punished for their mess, they kept adventuring which eventually developed and later made them discover unique things. Their experience arose a high degree of curiosity in me, I was left wondering what keeps them going, where do they get the motivation and what sustains it?
But as I grew up I was caught up by the ever increasing influence of technology in the world today. It is so astonishing that today every social, economic, political systems and institutions cannot perform effectively without technology. Inspired by the influence of technology, I applied for a computer science course at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST). Due to the passion for Technology, I learned a lot of skills which include developing in many programming languages, developing systems, websites and many more. The learning process became only possible through my continued desire for innovation and strong persistence that has sparked a dot of perfection in my interaction with technology.

Kids into developing Technologies

What was your experience during school and while growing up? Well, mine was not so different from the many Ugandans’ of my times and before. The school curriculum included Mathematics, English, and Social Studies and Science including other activities like Physical Exercises and outside school, I would learn how to do house chores.  All I had to think about was the four subjects, who to play with and when to play. Problems were for the grown-ups and they were the ones to solve them. Then, none or just one person in the whole society owned a mobile phone which was mostly likely to be a company phone as Technology was just in its initial stages of development. Computers were owned by very big companies if not only the government ministries. Communication was through letters if not physical. And data in schools, businesses, hospitals, police stations and banks was recorded on and stored in hard copy,  usually a huge stack of papers in enormous box files. If I was to ask, what
