Embracing AI in Education: Why Restricting Its Use in Assignments is a Step Backward

 Education has always been both the engine and beneficiary of technological progress. From the invention of the printing press to the rise of the internet, each leap forward has transformed how knowledge is created, shared, and absorbed. It is ironic, then, that some educators now resist one of education's own greatest innovations—artificial intelligence. AI is not some alien invader in academia; it is the product of decades of research in computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics—fields born and nurtured within the very institutions now hesitant to embrace it. To reject AI in academic work is to deny education's fundamental purpose: to harness new discoveries that elevate human potential.   The evolution of academic work mirrors technological advancement. Not long ago, students spent days in libraries, poring over physical books and journals to produce handwritten assignments. The arrival of personal computers revolutionized this process, followed by sma...

Why Language Choice is Crucial in a Film's Success: The Power of Cultural Authenticity

"Bloody Indians. Can't you read English?" The British soldier's sneer hangs in the air like the smell of gunpowder. "I can read English," Manikarnika (later known as Rani Lakshmibai) replies, her voice steady as a drawn sword. "It's a mere language. Just words. Words without culture have no meaning." This fictional exchange from Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019) encapsulates a fundamental truth about storytelling: language is not just a communication tool—it's the bloodstream of culture. When filmmakers sever this vital connection, their creations become lifeless puppets, moving mechanically through plots but never breathing authenticity. The Language-Culture Symbiosis Language is culture made audible. The two are as inseparable as: The nyatiti from Luo storytelling The taarab from Swahili coastal life The dhol beats from Punjabi weddings This symbiosis explains why Kenyan films shot in English—like surgical transplants from foreign...

GooglePageSpeed Insights

GooglePageSpeed Insights  is a Google Webmaster tool that tests and analyzes the time it takes for a web page to load on a mobile or desktop device. The results of this analysis show the opinion of Google about a particular web page. One should know that these results are significant. If one ignores them, one's website or web page may not be visible in the unpaid Google search results list.   GooglePageSpeed Insights  measures two elements of a page. The first element is the time taken for the contents of a page to display fully, usually known as the page load time. The second element is the time a browser takes to receive the first byte of information from a website. It is typically called "time to the first byte." When combined, these two elements determine how fast customers can access information from a website's web page. Therefore, Google uses this information to rank websites. After a search, the sites that appear on the first page of the Google page usually ha...
