THE DISADVANTAGE OF ICT
In the vibrant tapestry of Filipino society's interaction with ICT and technology, there exists a shadowy realm of undesirable actions, casting a pall over the vast landscape of innovation. While the majority revels in the comfort and convenience ushered in by these digital marvels, some individuals tread into darker territories. Instances of digital piracy, a modern-day scourge, have marred the digital seas. As eager hands navigate the vast oceans of information, some succumb to the allure of illegitimate acquisition, perhaps motivated by a misguided desire for free access to content or financial gain without due compensation. It's a dance with the forbidden, a clandestine pursuit spurred by a blend of opportunism and the illusion of anonymity that the digital realm sometimes provides. Unraveling the motivations behind such actions reveals a complex interplay of societal pressures, economic disparities, and the allure of the forbidden fruit in the boundless orchard of cyberspace. Yet, in acknowledging these shadows, we pave the way for dialogue and collective efforts to ensure that the digital horizon remains one of innovation, creativity, and ethical use for the benefit of all.
