Around the world, the usage of social networking became something of 'insecurity' and for creating social change, resulting in peace. Much of the impact was felt in the Arab world, and somewhat in the west, brought about by social economic discontent and maladministration.

Aside from North Africa, the remaining continent was not affected. It's yet to experience hostile political activism from its (social media) use Picuki. Once the conditions for war became ripe, social networking aided revolts against regimes.

The overall utilization of social networking websites in Uganda by mostly young, curious, and adventurous people in universities and well-to-do homes were only available in 2006. The first site to offer and popularize social networking services was hi5.com. It was fabled for its highly graphic and eye-catching features. The insurrection of Facebook.com was annually later.

The blocking of hi5.com from access by university students provided the Facebook company monopoly over the market, as there was no other selection for young people to start online relationships and share that which was on their minds.

When Facebook.com came into being, it spread like wild fire, so much that no one escaped. Now it's the absolute most used social networking by far on the planet; all universities, corporate bodies, service organizations, and most Ugandans access internet, with greater utilization of Facebook.

Hardly do staffs of organizations and companies spend an individual day without checking in for chats, observing the minds of others, and starting new relationships. Actually, to most users, visiting the website is just a priority, despite having highly engaging schedules at work places.

The use of social networking for political reasons continues to be row in Uganda, though; there are several aspects of it emerging, especially visible during campaigns for political offices. It's limited more to expression of what subscribers have on their mind, for cementing social relationships, to pass time, to start romantic relationships, to market business ideas, and to trace old friends.

Additionally it provides an alternative method of communication, cheaper than other media channels in several respects. While telephone calls cost more than a dollar to create an indicate an individual person around the globe, the same amount enables mass communication, until exhaustion when social networking sites are taken advantage of.

Without having to meet high costs of travel abroad and back home to meet several tasks, it requires only almost virtually no time and effort in some places of the country, which have usage of internet, to fulfill several tasks in much less time.

The manufacture of internet-enabling phones made life on the planet of social networking even more interesting; without having to visit class to learn to use it, barely with so little to learn, most young people now use it, though, internet knowledge is limited by chatting and betting.

But additionally circumstances limit them to having such quantity of knowledge, to survive through betting and maintain loving relationships. The life-system in Uganda orients citizens to work hard to survive, as opposed to complain about leaders and politico-economics. Politics is a conclusion for the 'idle,' and a reservation of those already surviving by it.

Social media is most respected in the present day world because of its role in generating and spreading violent protests and armed rebellions around the globe, most especially in the Arab peninsula.

While that is true, social networking may be put into good use, without compromising peace and stability. As an example, it can be used to market business ideas and organization values in the eyes of clients.

The widespread poverty, limited incomes, and low savings, whether perpetuated by the political class, motivate Ugandans to work harder and go on than generate conditions for violent change. A lot of people struggle to discover a meal a day; the able-to-dos are limited to certain choices of food which are cheap, and do not constitute balanced deities. Under such circumstances, social networking is placed on seek and share strategies for escape, amongst that is the adoption of the tool of violence.

Thinking hard about the specific situation provokes someone to wonder whether the bad socioeconomic situation was deliberately conditioned by government to influence citizens to focus more on developing survival strategies necessary to acquire primary needs (food and meaningful standards of living) than provide them with space and time for you to nurse nationalistic feelings for situation change, through channels as social media.

Opting to spend amount of time in politics and generate conditions for socio-economic change, only detaches change agents from primary engagements necessary in order for them to survive. Besides, it's impossible to spent time advocating change on a clear stomach and work under a cloud of uncertainties about life and feelings of hopelessness. The consequence of that is violence against self and others, through substance abuse and crime. Under these conditions, the social networking would be helpful at facilitating venting and release of bad emotions.

The bad emotions lead to aggressive behaviors and turn out costly to society the maximum amount of regarding aggressor. Aggressive people use violence as coping mechanism during hard economic and political times to create ends meet by any means, through violent robberies, violent protests, rampant corruption, violent relationships, and mob justice against bad economic, social and political elements in the community.

Today, the menace of internal insecurity occurring among citizens, perpetuated by fellow countrymen, is hurting and creating fear at the domestic front. Whatever yields from the hands of hardworking Ugandans eventually ends up in to the pockets of robbers. They cannot only end at denying fellow citizens what belongs for them, but going ahead to alleviate them of the life obligations, through acts of murder!

The murderers are people, who due to the hard economic times, marginalizations, and lack of redress from concerned authorities, resort to costly strategies to create ends meet. The use of social networking prevails perfectly in such situations as channels, by which citizens advocate structural reforms.

However, social networking networking continues to be a privilege of urban dwellers, because of their closeness to influential areas, where new ideas from the remaining world collect before spreading to the remaining country. These include the usage of phones with Facebook provisions, usage of computers, and usage of power.

The limited utilization of social networking, alone, doesn't save the country from popular revolts, change of political guards or socio-economic situation. But the same conditions, under which Ugandans live, will one day change to widely consume authorities due to their irresponsibility, with or without it (social media). A long time before the introduction of computers in the country, revolutions took place. The procedure, though, is a lot longer. By the time it is needed to do something for change, mass mental illness, due to hopeless-living, might have weakened hopes in the minds of those still struggling on.

But by the time conditions start to enforce change to occur, social networking gadgets will soon be widespread across the country. They will ease change with far less effort, by highlighting the maladministration, inhuman living, and hopelessness, to provoke anger, hatred, and violence to enforce change. The opposite is likewise true, when those in authority get emotionally-driven to do something in people's favor, so your undesireable effects of violence are prevented.

Presently, there is growing insecurity and fear among citizens, which may spread to attain the class of Ugandans, who currently feel secure, to ensure that; from self-hatred, there's mutual, group, and national hatred for everything in the country, such as the leadership. It's currently that the usage of social networking for political, economic, and social change can be relevant in mobilizing and coordinating rebellions.

The continuing flooding of cheap Chinese phones and computers on Ugandan market will in the longer term increase usage of social networking by most, if not totally all Ugandans. And once the social environment persistently gets 'infested' with poverty, famine, preventable deaths, insecurity, and maladministration, the usage of social networking to improve the statuesque will soon be justified and eminent.

Whereas the usage of social networking is a fantastic strategy for positive change, it can be infiltrated by security agents, who will soon be attracted by its vitality of facilitating usage of informative data on their state of the minds of users, mobilizing social action, and possible causation of revolutions and counter revolution, that is known to trigger mayhem to nations.

The 1994 genocide in Rwanda provides a good insight about how bad counter revolutions could be. If no meaningful systems come in place to supply the elimination process of mindsets showing revolution and counterrevolution signals among individuals of the same nation, it will soon be always a matter of time for violence to erupt, facilitated by social media.

You will find, however, setbacks suffered by beneficiaries of social networking when they misuse the facility, when some of the views posted turn out to harm their reputation, and deny them social capital or destroy relationships. Negative views posted push away loved ones, and create concern among authorities over the harm the negative-thinking person could cause to himself or others, through the social media.

In all, meaningful change is possible when its need is so massive that signs inform you to discontented citizens that leadership would be up against little if any opposition; change would occur with even far less harm to the economy and to lives. The use of social networking warrantees certain values to guard oneself from self-harm and image-destruction.

Social media applicability for economic and social change is not even close to being real in Uganda. The 'barometer' reads peace and hard work for survival. The use of social networking can turn out hurting, if no protective values and standards useful are set by the user.

Effective utilization of social networking is an event of the future. The mass utilization of gadgets, as phones and computers is likely to influence society in Uganda for the greater, but only in a long term. The hard times in the country today can only be up against resilience and coping as some citizens already are doing.

However if the insecurity and widespread fears due to it becomes a large effect; first, insecurity can be national; second, there is a stronger significance of change; third, a justifiable action for change will ensue. Generally, change has its time, it will always present itself.
