They think technology alone can replace experience and guidance,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted how the rise of digital tools, while transformative, has also contributed to the decline in standards. \u201cNow, you can edit an entire production on your smartphone. That\u2019s great for innovation, but when there\u2019s no proper training to back it, the quality suffers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>For Osei Berko, the creative arts industry has immense potential, but the future depends on bridging the gap between old and new generations. He urged younger practitioners to embrace mentorship and learning, ensuring that the industry thrives with professionalism and excellence.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mikki Osei Berko \u00a0 Celebrated Ghanaian actor and broadcaster Mikki Osei Berko, widely known for his iconic roles in \u2018Taxi Driver\u2019 and \u2018Dada Boat\u2019, has expressed concerns about the declining standards in Ghana\u2019s creative arts industry.
