I have decided to put note on what many of us
have taken for granted, an E-mail address, or Electronic address, for we have
failed to understand how important it is to the people who communicate with
us.
Good as technology has become, we are still having
a problem of changing a server and we maintain the old Email address. That is
why they all end up with @ at something, that some thing is the provider of your
E-mail address. Now many times we change these servers due to several reasons,
companies go under belly, we get better services or we even get cheaper
services. The moment we change them, our E-mail addresses change.
Now this is the problem we are finding in Uganda
E-mail users, and it does not matter whether they are companies, Government
offices, travel agents, or even government ministers. When they change a server
they do not alert the people who communicate with them. And it is not necessary
to send a note to every body that you have changed the address, but if your
E-mail address is on a permanent list, a list which you know that we go to,
please by all means change it. It is very absurd when you go to a permanent page
like Uganda Pages, a page where I am supposed to find current information on
Uganda companies, and find that all travel agents which are on Uganda Pages, at
least 80% of them have dead E-mail addresses. When you call the travel agent and
ask them why their E-mail address is bad then she tells you how you have a wrong
one, but mom I got it from Uganda Home pages?
Why do I have to go to a list of Uganda government,
and three quarters of MP's email addresses are wrong? As we speak how many
Minister's E-mail addresses are good today? And I take it that some MP knows
that his/her E-mail address is on the Uganda Government page and that is where
we all go to look for them. People computers have a thing called address, and
they all go into that thing, why are the ones in Uganda the only ones we can not
depend on?
Please note, that because our communicating with
people is important for example here, Simpatico is giving better deals these
days, but I can not change from my server, for I have been with him for such a
long time and my E-mail address is all over the place. So if it is looking for
cheaper ones, please sacrifice those little Uganda Shillings and stay where you
are. But most of all, if you know that your address is on a permanent list
please up date it.
And can some one from Uganda Government get off
their butt and up date that page for crying out loud, or we still need some one
from World Bank to do it for us?
Talk about strange days.
