As I think of something that relates to our previous lessons in Media and Information Literacy, I instantly thought of Mystic Messenger. It is an otome and visual novel type of game where you can interact with the characters by chatting them. 

Warning: I used to play this game ever since 2016 and I assure you, this game ruined my sleeping schedule and lost my ability to be in a romantic relationship with real people (I’m just kidding... partly).

In this game, communication is the key to everything. You need to interact with the different members of Rika’s Fundraising Association (RFA) to maintain your relationship with them and to know more about them. Although, the game only allows you to choose one character to be in a relationship with.

Like in real life, communication is vital to us to get to know each other more and clear up misunderstandings. We get to discover information about them that we don’t know about and be aware of their current state. 

As what I have said, communication is everything in this game. All your response and messages will lead you to different endings and consequences. It is important to think twice on what you should be replying and at least be active on the chat. Basically, communication equates to relationship. 

Our relationship with people will be determined on how well and often we communicate with them. We should always be aware of what we are saying because it might offend or worse, harm them. Good communication strengthens the ties we have with people or otherwise it will result to a negative relationship.

Is it really necessary to communicate everyday? Let’s ask the RFA members!

Now that you have reached this point, let me just ask you a question: how often should you communicate with people?

Evolution

Life is all about evolution. Evolution doesn’t always mean forgetting the good things that we had before but we will create something that will help us more in our time right now. Evolution influences media to create improvement. Technology has a great impact in the lives of people, without technology it would be hard to get things done. Technology might have a lot disadvantages in our lives but we can’t deny that it made our lives easier. It helps us in everything that we do. It might be bad for our environment, but there are a lot of things that we can do to prevent this from destroying our home. “Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain.” - Tom Robbins

Be the best version of yourself

" Aspire to inspire before we expired."

As I continue my journey I always do my best to become ME! To be unique and better person. I show my real attitude. This is the real me. And to be a better person I want myself to inspire others. To inspire them through my experiences. No matter what circumstances we experience, WE STAND! even if we stumble. Let ourselves be the light of this darkest world. Let our lights shine upon others. Be the light and salt of this world!

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5:13-16

Time goes by so does our way of living. We are constantly moving to another era as every year comes by. A lot of things have changed over the course of time and our way of communicating with people, whether to share information or to communicate with people, is one.

Without the help of science and technology, we would not be able to use gadgets like we do now and we would not be able to make our lives easier in obtaining information and communicating with one another. 

People call it as the greatest discovery of all time, but isn’t it something to be also terrified of?

This is an example of how far technology can go just to satisfy people’s curiosity and entertainment.

Even with the existence of technology, I still find writing letters on papers beautiful. I mean, there is no doubt there are tons of things you can do digitally, but still writing letters traditionally for someone to share messages and information with is much more powerful than electronic ones. 

For me, writing letters have a different vibe on it. You put your efforts into making one and it is crafted by your own hands. Every stroke of ink you lay on a piece of paper shows how much effort you put into it and your creativeness starts to play on that hand of yours.

...but if you prefer doing it in an electronic medium to express your thoughts and process information then you do you.

Language is not only limited humans, it also exist in media and information as well. Although, it is not what you think it is. Well, in that sense, language refers to the codes and conventions that are being used to convey information, emotions, and ideas.

Codes have two categories: technical and symbolic. Technical focuses more on camera angles, shots, and lighting to give a much more dramatic effect in a scene and also to convey the intensity of the show.

One good example is this camera angle where it shows the mental state of the characters.

Whereas, symbolic codes are what you can observe in the actor’s physical appearance and acting. It also involves the use of iconic symbols which can have a different meaning based on the person’s perspective.

Convention also plays an important role in defining the genre of the story clearer by using appropriate themes and motifs.

Basically, aside form verbal and nonverbal communication, the media and information languages are a big help in projecting what the story really wants to communicate.

As media enters into the digital world, a future of possibilities awaits the people. New media has become the most used means to distribute information, overlapping the old one. With the help of technology, there are countless of advantages new media can give us, but there are also countless of people who cannot access it.

People who live in remote areas are unlikely to have a good signal, much worse they may not have the medium. This is where the legacy media will take its place— to help people obtain information by physical means. It is also cheap and as informative as the ones we have in the internet.

But as time passes, people are getting accustomed to the new era they are living in— many are also adjusting to it. In addition, technology is also becoming more prominent in this age.

So...

Is the birth of new media will be the death of old media?

STOP CYBER- BULLYING!

Cyber bullying is one of the problems of people's today, especially among young people. There is nothing more to deny, because we are now dependent on technologies.

There are many social media platforms that we use to share our feelings, connect to others and share our opinions and perspectives.

Online violence, cyber bullying and digital harassment affect over 70 percent of young people globally, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

We value every life of the youth because they are the future of the people. We need to be wise and understanding at all times. Being a youth, it is very hard for us to understand everything in this world, so we need the help of others in order to understand ourselves. That is why we share our feelings in different social medias.

We need to be considerate every time we press and share our opinions on social media.

If we know we can hurt other people's feelings. Stop it!

WE MUST KNOW!!!

If you experience such situations please contact the authorities as we have a law for these cases.

Under House Bill 5718, or the proposed “Anti Cyber-Bullying Act of 2015,”cyber-bullies shall face a penalty of fines ranging from P50,000 to P100,000, or imprisonment between six months and six years, or both, at the discretion of the court.

If possible let's just share things that can help them like motivational quotes and good vibes that can make them happy and hopeful.
