How should Filipino Millenials (Fillinials) deal with the use of technology?

Will
you let technology master over you or will you be in control of its use?

We are now in the digital era where everything is made possible to each one of us
particularly the millennials. Social platforms play an important part in our lives
as millennials. It is rare to find millennial/s without gadgets like cellphone and
without social media account. Think of it, technology is really advantageous.
However, despite the advantages of technology, lies within its dangerous effects.
With the help of technology, our daily endeavors are getting easier to take. The
Fillinials can use such for study aid, information seeking, socializing or a lot of
things deemed possible. It’s definitely our freedom to make use of the good sides
of the technology. It paves a way for easier communication. Fillinials like me use
Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms to communicate, react, and
even rant because I know that I have the will to do such. I’m free. So, given this,
majority of the Fillinials are too self-assured and dominant in giving their
opinions online. We are using technology as if our lives depend on it. I think this
is also one of the reasons why some of the Fillinials are good at procrastinating.
Aside from this, I observed that a great number of Fillinials are having mental
and emotional issues. It's because of too much exposure of these technologies.
It is undeniable that we are becoming more engrossed in the online world or
should I say too obsessed with these technologies that the globalization brought
us. Yes, we are free but it comes with a responsibility. We are free making
mean comments online. We are free using gadgets wherever and whenever we
want. We are undoubtedly free. However, adverse effects like the rise of cyber
bullying became one of the unending issue that we experienced throughout the
years. It came so easy for the bullies and it added up to the rising cases of
suicides. If there's what we call drug addict, there is technology addict as well.
Gaming is one of the apparent addiction that majority of the Fillanials are doing.
See, we are destroying the good purpose of it.
I feel bad as well when I see unlikable comments from the Fillinials about their
ideas about politics or other societal issues like premarital sex, abortion and the
like. I could see how that freedom from these technologies gave us. As Fillinnials,
we have to know and reflect on our usage, behavior and tolerance in using
technologies. Time to time, assess yourself if you're being too much addicted or
too much a hater. Too much of everything is bad. If we are to use these
technologies in moderation, we wouldn't be in fear of having these issues like
cyberbullying, mental problems and a lot more that may bring suicidal thoughts.
It's too obvious that we can communicate in the virtual world in just one click of
these gadgets however I believe that nothing can beat the joy we have when we
communicate friends in the real world. We as Filinnials should be gathered as
one and help ourselves to be morally responsible of our doings with these
technologies. We have to be reminded of our duty which is to bring that virtues
we uphold. We make use of it so as to raise awareness of the certain timely and
relevant issues.
It's our own self that we can control the use of it. Remember that we are given
the intellect from the Above. The technologies are just man-made after all. It
just means that the power to control lies on us and not the technology to do the
adjustments. We have the will to decide and surely the path to take. Again, let
us be responsible just like how responsible we are in our roles in the family.
halos lahat ng kabataan ay gumagamit ng social media, nakakatulong ito
ngunit nakakasama rin. Sa sobrang paggamit nito nakakapag pahina ito ng
resistensya, gaya ng panglalabo ng mata. Nakakasama ito dulot din ng dala
nitong radiation. Kung mayroong adik sa drugs, mayroon ding adik sa
paggamit ng social media. May mga taong nasosobrahan sa paggamit nito
nakaka-apekto ito sa mental at emosyonal na sistema ng tao. Sa maling
paggamit ng social media maaring makasakit o makasira ng buhay ng ibang
tao dahil sa tinatawag na cyber bullying. Bilang isang estudyante,
nasosobrahan din ako sa paggamit ng social media. Dahil sa makabagong
teknolohiyang ito nakakalimutan na natin ang iba pang Gawain, nagiging
tamad na ang mga tao.
Mayroong iba’t ibang paggamit ng makabagong teknolohiya, sinasabi ng
karamihan na ito ay nakaka tulong sa ating lahat. Sinasabi din ng iba na ito ay
hindi nakakatulong, dahil nagdudulot ito ng problema sa ibang tao. Nakaksakit
ng damdamin, at nakakasama sa kalusugan. Depende naman ito kung sa
papaanong paraan natn ito gagamitin. Gamitin natin ang social media sa
mabuting paraan. Gamitin lamang ito sa pakikipag komunikasyon sa ibang
tao, sa mga magulang na nasa ibang bansa at gamitin ito sa pag aaral. Malaki
ang magiging epekto kung mali ang ating paggamit at kung  gagamitin natin
ito sa kasamaan. Nakatulong nga ba o nakakasama ang paggamit ng internet
at social media? Bilang estudyante masasabi ko na ito ay nakakatulong at
nakakasama, ito ay naka depende kung paano gagamitin at tatangkilikin ang
makabagong teknolohiya.
