How Modern Technology is Changing the Lives of Somali Youth

In recent years, Somali youth have embraced technology more than ever before. From smartphones to online learning, and from freelancing to earning money through social platforms like Steemit, technology has opened new doors.

Young people can now learn new skills online, create content, and connect with the world. Many even support their families through remote work or trading digital currency.

But this change also comes with challenges — screen addiction, false online influence, and lack of real-life interaction.

As a Somali student who understands both religion and technology, I believe balance is the key. Use tech for growth, but don’t forget your values.

What do you think? Is technology helping or harming our youth?
