A storm is a violent meteorological phenomena in which there
is heavy rain, and wind due to moisture in the air. Hail and Tanong kulang ngayon, handa ka na bang makikilahok

can occur in storms.
Ang pagbabago ay walang katapusan at hindi natin ito
matatakasan. Kung kaya't kailangang gawin ay adaptasyon
upang hindi mapag-iwanan ng panahon. Isa na rito
ang teknolohiya, sosyal na pakikipag ugnayan, paniniwala
at iba pa.
Pag-usapan natin ngayon ang tuwirang pagbabagong
nagaganap noong 30 taong lumipas at sangayong
henerasyon ang millenial. 

Teknolohiya, higit na nagbabago ito sa paraan ng


pakikipagkomunikasyon. Ginagamit na ito para maka-chat,
video callsngayon habang noon ay mas nakahiligin nila ang
pagpapadala ng sulat o ang maging harap-harapan na
pakikipag-usap sa kaibigan, magulang at iba pa. 

Ang ibang kabataan naman ngayon ay nahiligan na ang


pamimili gamit ang kanilang gadgets, tulad ng lazada o
amazon, isang pindot lamang ay makukuha muna ang iyong
gusto. Kapag may bagong brand ay mas hinihikayat ito kahit
hindi gaanong mahalaga.

Noon ay ginagamit ang tapes at CD's habang ngayon ay dina-


download nalang sa internet at pinapatunog nalang online.

Noon, naglalaro sa video games at ngayon ay online games. 

Noon, kung hindi mo susundin ang bilin ng magulang ay


matitikman mo ang palo ng tsinelas, walis tingting at sinturon ni
itay, ngayon naman ay mas ligtas na sa palo kahit maliit ang
markang nakuha sa paaralan. 

Sa pakikipagsalimuha naman sa iba tulad ng paglalaro sa


labas kasama ang kaibigan ay mas nangyayari noon dahil
ngayon ay mas gusto pa nilang magkulong sa bahay kaharap
ang gadgets.
Sa pag-aaral naman noon ay hindi ito gaanong pinagtutuunan
ng pansin, kumbaga ayos lang kung hindi makapagtapos basta
may trabaho lang at magkapera. Sa panahon ngayon naman
ay mas gusto nilang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral upang
makahanap ng trabaho at magkaroon ng pera, ika nga, kung
walang diploma mahirap kang magkapera.
Sa lahat ng pagbabagong nabangit, naranasan ko din ang ilan
sa mga ito. Katulad ng tinatamad ng makipaglaro sa kaibigan
sa labas ng bahay, kumbaga isa rin ako sa mga kabataang
naging adik sa gadgets, paglalaro online, nakikinig ng musika
online, at kinakausap ang kaibigan gamit ang internet, chatting,
video calls at iba pa.
Ngunit sa kabila ng pagbabagong nagaganap sa lipunan,
masasabi kong may malaking naidudulot ito sa
tao. Nagiging praktikalan na sila sa buhay, napagtantong
kung wala kang pinag-aralan mahirap nang makakita ng
trabaho. Naging paraan ito upang ang kabataan sa ngayon at
hinaharap ay magporsiging makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Sa
teknolohiya naman ay hindi na masyadong mahigpit ang mga
magulang sa kanilang anak dahil mas bihasa na sila itong
gamitin at naituturo nila ito ng maayos. Marami ng mga mag-
aaral ang ginagamit ito upang makahanap ng pera, tulad ng
online selling ng kanilang gamit at iba pa.
Sa kabila ng pagbabago ng mga bagay-bagay sa mundo ay
tanda naman ito ng pag-unlad ng isang bansa. Kung kaya't
