How social media is changing our lives

This is Social Media Week, coming barely two weeks after the recent visit to Kenya by Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg’s visit has undoubtedly cemented Kenya’s position as an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) hub in the region. The only other country that Zuckerberg visited during his maiden trip to Africa was Nigeria.

According to media reports, Zuckerberg who visited the Nairobi ICT incubation centre, iHub, was in the country to meet entrepreneurs and developers and learn more about our mobile money transfer innovation, M-Pesa, which remains a global success.
