Technology: Boon or Bane?

Technology is not bad and is not good, it is both. It’s a coin having two sides, the negative and the positive side; both are distinct and undeniably connected. One side can’t just move alone without distracting and disturbing the other. Since technology’s contributions are multifold, it is considered as a blessing for it makes things easier as 1, 2, 3 it may be in communication, education, health, spreading information and more, imagine the world without it. On the other hand, there should be something negative impact for us to know our limits it is addictive, harmful at any aspects, laziness comes next, physical health may be at risk and so much more. Though we knew all about these, we end up being permanently imprison with this invention. Technology is not an enemy but a friend, it was invented not to ruin, destroy and gave harm. We are those who created the curse and everything then follows. Without balance, technology which helps us in every other way could also be reason why we are ruined. We created our own path, what we become is an outcome of our choice.

The biggest challenge and the best opportunities by the new media

As a student, new media helps us with lots of things, in research, assignments, activities and more. It is so efficient and much accessible in seeking information for it is only one click away, but even though new media offer such things, the biggest challenge for us is to use it for important purposes only, such as in academics and the likes. Use new media properly and with limitations, we should not engage ourselves so much that it would become a normalization and enters automaticity. 

New media offers a variety of information that is very useful and helpful in terms of new and unique informations that would help us students acquire learnings and knowledge that we can use, share and store from ourselves.

The Value of Being a Media and Information Literate Individual

Media can present issues and problems that seems to be true and fake, however, it is our responsibility to know whether a certain post is real or not. In this generation, we the young adults and teenagers, tend to share what we like, we react and comment to what we love, and we post something without thinking of what is the outcome because we believe on what we see and read on social media. That’s why it is important to be a media and information literate for we stand on our words because we think critically to spread and inform or share only the necessary and relevant issues and news with everybody. Literate people differentiates what is right from what is wrong for we value evidences that build strong content knowledge to our critique. We should always identify the role of social media in our society because media was made for a reason and we should understand that reason because it is the basis of media literacy. Always think of the governments social awareness campaign "THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK" for the 4 words shortly explains the responsibility of being a media literate.
